Water Resources Systems Planning and ManagementElsevier, 2003 M09 12 - 882 pages This book is divided into four parts. The first part, Preliminaries, begins by introducing the basic theme of the book. It provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques. An understanding of how the hydrological data are measured and processed is important before undertaking any analysis. The discussion is extended to emerging techniques, such as Remote Sensing, GIS, Artificial Neural Networks, and Expert Systems. The statistical tools for data analysis including commonly used probability distributions, parameter estimation, regression and correlation, frequency analysis, and time-series analysis are discussed in a separate chapter.

... depends on the frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts. In view of climate change, both are likely to become more severe. The following major sources of water were identified by Cole (1998). Natural rivers. The rivers are fed by ...
... depends only on the current inputs while output of a dynamic system depends on the current and previous inputs. As explained by Mays (1997), the kernel of a time-invariant system does not change with time whereas it changes with time in ...

... depends on water availability. Agriculture is by far the largest user of water around the world, representing up to 90% of use in many developing countries. Foods from aquatic ecosystems, forests, etc. can be important in the diets of ...
... depends on the purpose for which the observed data are to be used. For example, accurate measurements of precipitation for flood forecasting require denser networks as compared to rainfall-runoff modeling. WMO (1994) has recommended the ...
