Principles of Snow Hydrology
Author: David R. DeWallePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139471600
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Principles of Snow Hydrology describes the factors that control the accumulation, melting and runoff of water from seasonal snowpacks over the surface of the earth. The book addresses not only the basic principles governing snow in the hydrologic cycle, but also the latest applications of remote sensing, and techniques for modeling streamflow from snowmelt across large mixed land-use river basins. Individual chapters are devoted to climatology and distribution of snow, snowpack energy exchange, snow chemistry, ground-based measurements and remote sensing of snowpack characteristics, snowpack management, and modeling snowmelt runoff. Many chapters have review questions and problems with solutions available online. This book is a reference book for practicing water resources managers and a text for advanced hydrology and water resources courses which span fields such as engineering, earth sciences, meteorology, biogeochemistry, forestry and range management, and water resources planning.
Effects of Stratigraphic Layers on Water Flow Through Snow
Author: Samuel C. ColbeckPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hydrodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The flow of water through layered snowpacks is discussed. A method for predicting flow through unsaturated layers is given. The flow along ice layers and through ice layers is analyzed in terms of the slope, permeability, thickness and length of the layers. It is shown that the permeability of ice layers required to cause large flow diversions is quite small. The effect of slope is large even at small angles. (Author).

Isotopes in the Water Cycle
Author: Pradeep K. AggarwalPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402030231
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Environmental isotope and nuclear techniques provide unmatched insights into the processes governing the water cycle and its variability. This monograph presents state of the art applications and new developments of isotopes in hydrology, environmental disciplines and climate change studies. Coverage ranges from the assessment of groundwater resources in terms of recharge and flow regime to studies of the past and present global environmental and climate changes.

Analysis of Hydrologic Response to Rain-on-snow
Author: Samuel C. ColbeckPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hydrodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
The equations describing water movement in a dry snow cover are derived and examples of flow through ripe, refrozen and fresh snows are given. The grain size of snow has a large effect on the timing of water discharge. Water is retained by dry snow to raise its temperature and satisfy the irreducible water saturation. These requirements delay and reduce runoff following rain on dry snow.
