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 Simonovic?. 410 0$aInternational hydrology series. 606 $aPrecipitation (Meteorology)$xMeasurement 606 $aFloods$xMathematical models 606 $aHydrologic models 606 $aClimatic extremes 606 $aClimatic changes 615 0$aPrecipitation (Meteorology)$xMeasurement. 615 0$aFloods$xMathematical models. 615 0$aHydrologic models. 615 0$aClimatic extremes. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a551.48/9011 686 $aSCI081000$2bisacsh 700 $aTeegavarapu$b Ramesh S.
