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

conﬁned 

in

well-deﬁned 

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

difﬁcult, 

if

not

impossible, 

to

estimate.

Good 

water 

management 

is

founded 

on

reliable 

streamﬂow 

information

and

the

ﬁnal 

reliability 

of

the

information 

depends 

on

the

initial 

ﬁeld

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

ﬁeld 

measurements.

This 

book 

is

therefore 

for

ﬁeld 

hydrologists 

and

for

students 

of

hydrology 

in

universities 

and

colleges.
