Introduction to Flood Hydrology
J HAARHOFF & AM CASSA
Introduction to Flood Hydrology brings together in a single volume all the formulae, maps and graphs necessary for a comprehensive understanding of flood hydrology, amply illustrated by worked examples. The flood estimation methods it contains were developed specifically for South African conditions. While the book retains its focus on fundamental principles, it introduces readers to a rich matrix of data and methods available to the South African hydrologist, thereby serving as a valuable reference tool for practising engineers, technologists and technicians.
KEY FEATURES
• Learning outcomes at the start of each section to indicate what you will achieve
• A summary formula hand-out sheet is provided to be used by lecturers during tests and examinations
• Fully worked examples at the end of each section
• Comprehensive coverage of flood estimation methods: all the empirical,
deterministic and probabilistic methods commonly used in South African
practice are presented
• Flood routing procedures to allow the routing of floods through rivers and
dams
• Boxed hydrology equations for convenient reference and review at the end of
each section.
SUITABLE FOR
Undergraduate Hydrology students who are studying towards a Bachelor’s Degree or a National Diploma.
