Fluid Mechanics of Environmental Interfaces (Mecánica de Fluidos e Interfaces con el Medio ambiente))

This book first treats exchange processes occurring at the interfaces between atmosphere and the surface of the sea, then those between atmosphere and land surface. It also describes processes at the environmental interfaces of freshwater, such as gas-transfer at free-surfaces of rivers, advective diffusion of air bubbles in turbulent water flows and boundary-layers phenomena in vegetated open channels. Finally, the book deals with the phenomena that affect transport of material to and from the...

Practical Hydraulics (Hidráulica práctica)

Hydraulics has a reputation for being a complex, even intimidating, discipline. Put simply, hydraulics is the study of how water and similar fluids behave and can be harnessed for practical use. It is one of the fundamental scientific and engineering subjects and many professions demand a working knowledge of its basic concepts, yet most hydraulics textbooks are aimed at readers with a strong engineering or mathematical background. “Practical Hydraulics” approaches the subject from basic principles...

Forest Hydrology: An Introduction to Water and Forests (Hidrología forestal: Introducción a Aguas y Bosques)

This book fills a gap in the current literature by bringing water resources and the forest-water relation into a single volume. The text broadly discusses common issues on water resource and forest-water relation and serves as an introduction to forest hydrology. Forest Hydrology: An Introduction to Water and Forests covers issues on water, forests, the water-forest relation, watershed research, and hydrologic measurements, and provides state-of-the-art knowledge on the impact of forests to the...
