Streamflow Measurement

About this book

Too little water or too much'? In either case streamflow measurement is crucial. Climate change could significant affect water resources and flood management. Streamflow measurement is necessary for efficient water management.This third edition deals with all the main current methods for measuring the flow in rivers and open channels, in accordanc

Streamflow 
is 
the 
combined 
result 
of 
all 
climatological 
and 
geographical 
factors
that 
operate 
in 
a 
drainage 
basin. 
It 
is 
the 
only 
phase 
of 
the 
hydrological 
cycle 
in
which 
the 
water 
is 
conned 
in 
well-dened 
channels 
which 
permit 
accurate
measurements 
to 
be 
made 
of 
the 
quantities 
involved. 
Other 
measurements 
of
the 
hydrological 
cycle 
are 
point 
measurements 
for 
which 
the 
uncertainties, 
on
an 
areal 
basis, 
are 
difcult, 
if 
not 
impossible, 
to 
estimate.
Good 
water 
management 
is 
founded 
on 
reliable 
streamflow 
information
and 
the 
nal 
reliability 
of 
the 
information 
depends 
on 
the 
initial 
eld
measurements. 
The 
hydrologist 
making 
these 
measurements 
has 
therefore 
the
responsibility 
of 
ensuring 
raw 
data 
of 
acceptable 
quality 
are 
collected. 
The
successful 
processing 
and 
publication 
of 
the 
data 
depend 
largely 
on 
the 
quality
of 
the 
eld 
measurements.
This 
book 
is 
therefore 
for 
eld 
hydrologists 
and 
for 
students 
of 
hydrology 
in
universities 
and 
colleges.
