Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).

Applied Hydrology and Green Infrastructure Systems combines theoretical insight with practical applications. This textbook captures the latest developments in green infrastructure and offers the skills that are necessary to interpret and solve complex hydrology and hydraulics problems. Integrating traditional hydrologic principles with cutting-edge green infrastructural solutions, it provides a foundation into groundwater dynamics, hydrological processes, and sustainable sewer design. It paves the way for understanding the importance of environmentally conscious practices in water resource management.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One offers a deep exploration of groundwater dynamics and describes saturated and unsaturated flow principles. It then explores steady-state and transient well hydraulics, flow nets, and strategies for ensuring sustainable groundwater availability. Part Two largely focuses on hydrology, diving into surface runoff processes, unit hydrographs, and the application of NRCS unit hydrograph methodology. Probability and statistics in hydrology are introduced followed by hydrologic frequency analyses. Lastly, Part Three describes sewer design, green infrastructure, and water transmission. The principles of sewer system design with an emphasis on sustainability and the integration of green infrastructure are discussed.
Applied Hydrology and Green Infrastructure Systems is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduate students in environmental sciences studying engineering hydrology, hydraulics and hydrology. It is also useful for engineers, urban planners, and consultants who are looking for practical guidance to incorporate green infrastructure into urban design and development. This textbook contains case studies, self-assessments, spreadsheet shells, and a solutions manual as additional resources for students and instructors.
