For undergraduate and graduate courses in Hydrology

This text offers a clear and up-to-date presentation of fundamental concepts and design methods required to understand hydrology and floodplain analysis. It addresses the computational emphasis of modern hydrology and provides a balanced approach to important applications in watershed analysis, floodplain computation, flood control, urban hydrology, stormwater design, and computer modeling.

Companion website hydrology.rice.edu maintained by Dr. Bedient, contains selected problems, example datasets, simple Excel programs, and dozens of PowerPoint presentations that are available to instructors and students in the course at no charge.
