The book presents all background material and new developments in one place, presenting the material in a homogeneous and pedagogical way in order to allow students, engineers and researchers to access and efficiently use all information surrounding this topic.
This reference can be used as a guide to apply the available and recent approaches to evaluate hydro-meteorological risks, to design hydraulic structures, in teaching (faculty members), and as a literature review to go to the next steps in research projects (graduate students and postdocs).
- Presents methods for analysis of hydro-meteorological risks followed by illustrative examples based on real life data sets
- Provides definitions throughout on all new topics and key terms
- Includes case studies and real-life examples covering a variety of situations and showing how this work can be applied in the reader’s own work
Hydrologists at researcher level and above Meteorologists, Statisticians and Civil-Engineers
