<h4>A comprehensive introduction to entropy and its various applications in the hydrologic sciences.</h4><p><i>Entropy Theory in Hydrologic Science and Engineering</i> deals with basic concepts of entropy theory from a hydrologic engineering perspective. The application of these concepts to a range of hydrologic engineering problems is discussed in detail. This unique resource is divided into subsections--preliminaries, rainfall, subsurface flow, surface flow, and environmental considerations. It covers all phases of the hydrologic system and reviews the applications of entropy theory across the entire spectrum of hydrologic sciences.</p><p>Coverage includes:<ul><li>Morphological analysis<li>Evaluation and design of sampling and measurement networks<li>Precipitation variability<li>Rainfall frequency distributions<li>Assessment of potential water resources availability<li>Evaluation of precipitation forecasting schemes<li>Infiltration<li>Soil moisture<li>Groundwater flow<li>Rainfall-runoff modeling<li>Hydrologic frequency analysis<li>Steamflow simulation<li>Long-term streamflow forecasting<li>Flood forecasting<li>Bivariate analysis<li>River regime classification<li>Sediment yield</ul></p>
