From our long teaching and research experience, we have felt a strong need for a text book on Hydrometeorology oriented toward managing water resources in the developing Asian world in general and more particularly relevant to Indianconditions. The subject matter has been developed in a logical and coherent manner and covers a wide spectrum of topics and provides a discussion of significant developments. Also emphasis is placed on the applied aspects of hydro meteorological research and practice worldwide. The book is intended to serve asa text for senior undergraduate or beginning undergraduate courses in hydrometeorology, and will also be of value to practicing engineers and hydrologists engaged in the planning, design, development, and management of water resources. Numerous worked examples are provided in each chapter to enable the user togain comprehension and understanding of the subject of hydrometeorology.
