This book is a great reference and well written
This book is a great reference and well written. It covers a great deal of information. At times I wish it went into more detail on some topics. I will continue to refer to it for years to come.

Decent textbook
Purchased this book for a graduate level intro to hydrology course. The book does a decent job of covering the basics, but is a little difficult to get through at times, particularly around the equations.

Book in very good shape and for a good price

part way there
Quite thorough for a hydrologist, modeler, or engineer but lacking in the biological character of watersheds, analysis through systems ecology and management.

so far a good intro to principles and qualitative management.
Firstly, my copy have a production error. Pages 145 to 160 are missing and replaced by a duplicate copy of pages 161 to 176! however, I have checked with the copies from my colleagues and professor so it looks as though this is an isolated failure, but the pages missing are highly important for application of stream flow management.Secondly, the book goes into plenty of detail on many general principles of hydrology, but seem a little lacking in computerized modeling and formula application; which seem to be where most of our future hydrology needs will require education and training. The pages missing cover areas of measuring hydrographs which play a huge part in flood management for towns and cities with dams. After finding the missing pages, the explanation left me wanting more detail and at least one real world-like example.Overall, not a bad text if you wish to understand a qualitative management of a watershed, but it seems as only an introduction to quantitative management of a watershed.

Tiny Used Textbook
To much unorganized data in such a small book. Teacher required this book only to use chapter 4 and 7... theirs a reason I rent, not buy. Book was very rented and will probally be updated by the time I submit this review
