An comprehensive working reference, Watershed Hydrology begins with an overview of the hydrologic cycle and examines the basic concepts of storage in that cycle. The well-organized chapters cover topics such as: water and energy, storage of water in the atmosphere, water in the vegetative zone, water in the terrasphere (soil), water in the hydrosphere, and watershed management.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Dr. Black's approach is one of encompassing both engineering and ecological hydrology, focusing on a watershed scale...a solid, broad-focused, and attractively illustrated hydrology reference that should be very useful as source water protection activities become more intense, and we all look beyond our intakes.-Water Publications Digest, November 1998
...very good book...the organization and coverage are excellent...-Stephan Nix, University of Alabama
