Summary:

Among all the phases of the hydrological cycle, overland flow and surface runoff have the most intimate interaction with human beings as they co-exist in space and time. This book contains eleven chapters covering a wide range of topics on overland flow and surface runoff, which are of value of researchers and practicing engineers. (Imprint: Nova Press)
