The conquests and colonization of the Americas presented a different stage for the drama of evangelization in contrast to that of Africa and Asia: the inhospitable landscape of Africa, the implacable Islamic societies of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, and the self-assured regimes of Ming-Qing China, Nguyen dynasty Vietnam, and Tokugawa Japan.

It is therefore imperative to be able to accurately predict both the occurrence time and magnitude of peak discharge in advance of an impending flood event. The use of meta-heuristic techniques in rainfall-runoff modeling is a growing field of endeavor in water resources management. These techniques can be used to calibrate data-driven rainfall-runoff models to improve forecasting accuracies. This book, being also a Special Issue of the journal Water, is designed to fill the analytical void by including fourteen articles concerning advances in the contemporary use of meta-heuristic techniques in rainfall-runoff modeling. The information and analyses are intended to contribute to the development and implementation of effective hydrological predictions, and thus, of appropriate precautionary measures. 606 $aRain and rainfall$xMathematical models 606 $aRunoff$xMathematical models 615 0$aRain and rainfall$xMathematical models. 615 0$aRunoff$xMathematical models. 676 $a551.488 701 $aChau$b Kwok Wing$0874291 712 02$aMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute. 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 912 $a9910220021003321 996 $aUse of meta-heuristic techniques in rainfall-runoff modelling$91952092 997 $aUNINA
