orig.boards Minor rubbing. An ink mark to top page-edge. VG. 16pp plates. 29x20cm, ix,195,(16)pp "Arid and semi-arid regions are defined as areas where water is at its most scarce. The hydrological regime in these areas is extreme and highly variable, and they face great pressures to deliver and manage freshwater resources. However, there is no guidance on the decision support tools that are needed to underpin flood and water resource management in arid areas. UNESCO initiated the Global network for Water and Development Information for arid lands (GWADI), and arranged a workshop of the world's leading experts to discuss these issues. This book presents chapters from contributors to the workshop, and includes case studies from the world's major arid regions to demonstrate model applications, and web links to tutorials and state of the art modelling software. This volume is a valuable reference for researchers and engineers working on the water resources of arid and semi-arid regions" - Publisher's description. [ Contents: Modelling hydrological processes in arid and semi-arid areas; Global precipitation estimation from satellite imagery using artificial neural networks; Modelling semi-arid and arid hydrology and water resources - the southern Africa experience; Use of the IHACRES rainfall- runoff model in arid and semi-arid regions; KINEROS2 and the AGWA modelling framework; A distributed spatial sediment delivery model for arid regions; The Modular Modeling System (MMS): a toolbox for water and environmental resources management; Calibration, uncertainty and regional analysis of conceptual rainfall-runoff models .,.] Minor rubbing.
