This book provides methods for assessment of the trends in these events and their impacts. It also provides a basis to develop procedures and guidelines for climate-adaptive hydrologic engineering. Academic researchers in the fields of hydrology, climate change, meteorology, environmental policy and risk assessment, and professionals and policy-makers working in hazard mitigation, water resources engineering and climate adaptation will find this an invaluable resource. This volume is the first in a collection of four books on flood disaster management theory and practice within the context of anthropogenic climate change. The others are: Floods in a Changing Climate: Hydrological Modeling by P. P. Mujumdar and D. Nagesh Kumar, Floods in a Changing Climate: Inundation Modeling by Giuliano Di Baldassarre and Floods in a Changing Climate: Risk Management by Slodoban Simonović.International hydrology series.Precipitation (Meteorology)MeasurementFloodsMathematical modelsHydrologic modelsClimatic extremesClimatic changesPrecipitation (Meteorology)Measurement.FloodsMathematical models.Hydrologic models.Climatic extremes.Climatic changes.551.48/9011SCI081000bisacshTeegavarapu Ramesh S.
