Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
It is immensely difficult to produce a book entitled Fundamentals of Hydrology in a palatable style, with unbroken prose, few equations and accessible diagrams that will appeal to undergraduates new to the subject. Tim Davies book manages to do this admirably. This book is to be highly recommended to any undergraduate interested in water management in a changing world. - Geographical Association
About the Author
Tim Davie is currently a practicing Hydrologist with Landcare Research in New Zealand. He previously lectured in the Department of Geography, Queen Mary, University of London.

Don't buy this,
By Kymberly (Avalon, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Hydrology, Second Edition (Routledge Fundamentals of Physical Geography) (Kindle Edition)
Do not purchase the Kindle edition until they fix the errors.
This Kindle edition has lots of words missing in chapter 2. For example: "This is throu bination of altitude, slope, aspect and d weather direction influences and can occur different scales...THE RAIN SHADOW EFF". I haven't contacted anyone about this defect yet. Because I haven't figure out how to exchange or contact anyone about a Kindle edition defect.
