The water encyclopedia

the long version

The Encyclopedia is meant to serve the scientist as well as the general public as an important source of information about water and all its related aspects. Professional hydrologists, engineers, irrigation specialists, hydrogeologists, and persons interested in the hydrologic environment-all will find this encyclopedia a reliable guide to information about our world's most important and priceless commodity. The second edition of the Encyclopedia has been greatly expanded and now contains more than 600 tables and 100 illustrations. As in the first edition, the subject matter has been broadly interpreted to include climates, hydrology, surface and ground water, water use, water quality, water management, water resources agencies, and legislation.
