A THOROUGH INTRODUCTION TO ENTROPY THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN HYDROLOGIC SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

This comprehensive volume addresses basic concepts of entropy theory from a hydrologic engineering perspective. The application of these concepts to a wide range of hydrologic engineering problems is discussed in detail. The book is divided into sections--preliminaries, rainfall and evapotranspiration, subsurface flow, surface flow, and environmental considerations. Helpful equations, solutions, tables, and diagrams are included throughout this practical resource.

Entropy Theory in Hydrologic Science and Engineering covers:

Introduction to entropy theoryMaximum entropy production principlePerformance measuresMorphological analysisEvaluation and design of sampling and measurement networksPrecipitation variabilityRainfall frequency distributionsEvaluation of precipitation forecasting schemesAssessment of potential water resources availabilityEvaporationInfiltrationSoil moistureGroundwater flowRainfall-runoff modelingStreamflow simulationHydrologic frequency analysisStreamflow forecastingRiver flow regime classificationSediment yieldEco-index

Industrial Hydrology serves as a comprehensive reference designed to bridge the knowledge gap between traditional hydrology and the specific water-related challenges of industrial development. This book serves multiple stakeholders involved in industrial site infrastructure development, including regulatory agencies, hydrologists, pollution control authorities, and those in affected communities. It provides essential knowledge on regulatory requirements for establishing and operating water-dependent industries, with particular focus on environmental impact assessments, water supply regulations, and hydro-environmental impacts.Key features:Addresses the unique hydrological behavior of industrialized watersheds, which differs significantly from urban, rural, or other watershed categories.Offers practical guidance for conducting hydrological studies in ungauged catchments using regional data and methods.

Operation, Maintenance, and Management of Irrigation Systems serves as a comprehensive guide to irrigation system governance across global contexts, from state-controlled systems in developing countries to privately managed districts in developed nations. The book systematically covers water delivery methods, automation systems, hydraulic structures, drainage principles, equipment maintenance, financial management, and policy frameworks, while addressing modern concerns such as water quality, safety protocols, and wildlife enhancement. It serves as an essential resource for irrigation professionals, agricultural engineers, water resource managers, and policy makers seeking to optimize system performance across diverse geographical and governance environments.Combines engineering principles with socio-economic, managerial, and stakeholder considerations for holistic irrigation system management.Features real-world case studies, advanced automation systems, water delivery methods, hydraulic structures, and maintenance strategies.

This book focuses on the application of geospatial technologies for resource planning and management for the key natural resources, e.g. water, agriculture and forest as well as the decision support system (DSS) for infrastructure development. We have seen in the past four decades that the growing complexities of sustainable management of natural resources management have been very challenging. The book has been written to leverage the current geospatial technologies that integrate the remotely sensed data available from various platforms, the precise locational data providing geospatial intelligence, and the advanced integration tools of Geographical Information Systems (GIS).Geospatial technologies have been used for water resources management employing geomorphological characteristics, analysis of river migration pattern, understanding the large-scale hydrological process, wet land classification and monitoring, analysis of glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), assessmentof environmental flow and soil erosion studies, water quality modelling and assessment and rejuvenation of paleochannels through groundwater recharge.Geospatial technologies have been applied for crop classification and mapping, soil moisture determination using  RISAT-1 C-band and PALSAR-2 L-band sensors, inventory of horticulture plantations, management of citrus orchards, crop yield forecasting, rice yield estimation, estimation of evapotranspiration and its evaluation against lysimeter and satellite-based evapotranspiration product for India to address the various issues of the agricultural system management.Geospatial technologies have been used for generation of digital elevation model, urban dynamics assessment, mobile GIS application at grass root level planning, cadastral level developmental planning and e-governance applications, system dynamics for sustainable development, micro-level water resources planning, site suitability for sewage treatment plant,traffic density assessment, geographical indications of India, archaeological applications and disasters interventions to elaborate various issues of DSS for infrastructure development and management.Geospatial technologies have been employed for the generation and reconciliation of the notified forest land boundaries, and also the land cover changes analysis within notified forest areas, forest resource assessment, management and monitoring and wildlife conservation and management.This book aims to present high-quality technical case studies representing the recent developments in the “application of geospatial technologies for resource planning and management”. The editors hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for scientists and researchers to plan and manage land and water resources sustainably.

Phosphors are often consisting of transition-metal compounds or rare-earth compounds, with the most common application being displays and fluorescent light. This book will guide the reader through the latest developments in thermo-, electro-, mechano- and bioluminescence of rare earth phosphors and crystals. Also, the effect of doping will be discussed.

Floods constitute a persistent and serious problem throughout the United States and many other parts of the world. They are responsible for losses amounting to billions of dollars and scores of deaths annually. Virtually all parts of the nation--coastal, moun­ tainous and rural--are affected by them. Two aspects of the problem of flooding that have long been topics of scientific inquiry are flood frequency and risk analyses. Many new, even improved, tech­ niques have recently been developed for performing these analyses. Nevertheless, actual experience points out that the frequency of say a 100-year flood, in lieu of being encountered on the average once in one hundred years, may be as little as once in 25 years. It is there­ fore appropriate to pause and ask where we are, where we are going and where we ought to be going with regard to the technology of flood frequency and risk analyses. One way to address these questions is to provide a forum where people from all quarters of the world can assemble, discuss and share their experience and expertise pertaining to flood frequency and risk analyses. This is what constituted the motivation for organizing the International Symposium on Flood Frequency and Risk Analyses held May 14-17, 1986, at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
