Wadi Hydrology

the long version

"Wadi Hydrology provides an understanding of these systems that illustrates the efficiency of harnessing water from wadis. This book: outlines surface features that play a role in the formation of runoff and groundwater storage; presents calculation methods for use in designing, developing, and managing our water resources; reviews current methods and proposes new alternatives for arid and semiarid region hydrograph analysis; discusses groundwater recharge, aquifer parameter determination from field work, and tests; provides groundwater management guidelines for a single wadi or among multiple wadis; and describes erosion, sedimentation, dispersion phenomena and their significance in engineering applications."--Jacket.
