HYDROLOGY FOR ENGINEERS, GEOLOGISTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONALS: An Integrated Treatment of Surface, Subsurface, and Contaminant Hydrology by Sergio E. Serrano

From the Publisher

About the Author

Dr. Sergio E. Serrano has over 15 years of experience teaching as a professor of hydrologic engineering at the University of Waterloo (Canada) and the University of Kentucky (U.S.A.). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo. He has over 25 years of international professional experience in hydrologic engineering and hydrologic modeling. He is the author of over 60 publications in scientific journals and books in the field of hydrology; an editor of the American Society of Civil Engineers Journal of Hydrologic Engineering. Dr. Serrano pioneered the development of new analytical solutions of non-linear equations in watershed hydrology, unsaturated flow under stochastic hysteresis, transient regional groundwater flow, and scale-dependent contaminant dispersion in aquifers.

Journal of Hydrology

"A clear and balanced approach to surface, subsurface, and contaminant hydrology... The author should be congratulated for putting for the first time such diverse set of topics into one coherent text, successfully linking hydrological sciences and environmental protection... The main characteristic that makes this text different from other texts in hydrology is less emphasis on a physical description of the processes and more attention to practical application... numerous examples which will be of great value to students and practitioners...nicely designed...appealing graphical presentations... a good source of references... a useful addition to many libraries... recommend it to professionals in the field of environmental hydrology."

Transactions American Geophysical Union

"The presentations are clear and concise and the illustrative examples are well chosen and complement the text. The problems are of high quality and appear to be representative of the content addressed...The emphasis on water quality is well placed. The topics in this group are judiciously selected and adequate for an introductory course..."

Hydrological Sciences Journal

"The text is concise, easy to understand, and comprises together with simple figures, numerous examples and supplementary problems: a textbook which students will appreciate...These chapters present overviews of complex topics that are easy to read and understand, and constitute, together with the comprehensive chapters on contaminant hydrology and important contribution to link environmental issues and hydrological sciences."
