Hydraulic conductivity of materials such as plants, soil and rocks is defined as the ability of the fluid to pass through pores, spaces or fractures. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is the ratio of volume flux to hydraulic gradient yielding a quantitative measure of a saturated soil's ability to transmit water when subjected to a hydraulic gradient. The level of hydraulic conductivity relies on many factors such as the intrinsic permeability ...

This book traces the progress of hydrology and hydrogeology and highlights some of their key concepts and applications. Hydrology refers to the study of the movement, quality and distribution of the water on our planet as well as other celestial bodies. The three main sub-fields of hydrology are ground water hydrology also known as hydrogeology, surface water hydrology and marine hydrology. This text will provide significant information about ...

The book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe in the field of hydrological sciences. Hydrological science is the study of the movement and distribution of water sources. With an increase in the world's demand for energy sources, there is a growing risk of depletion of our water resources. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of hydrology in...

With its detailed analyses and data, the text will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various le...

Water is one of the most important and abundant resources available on earth. Although water covers almost seventy one percent of earth but the portable water is scarce and unevenly distributed. Hydrology is the study of quality, distribution of water on earth and other planets of the planetary system. Engineering hydrology is the applied part of hydrology and one of the sub-fields of civil engineering. It commonly includes water supply, urban...
