Rainfall-runoff modelling : the primer / Keith Beven.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [397]-448) and index.

Preface to the 2nd edition -- Down to basics : runoff processes and the modelling process -- Evolution of rainfall-runoff models : survival of the fittest? -- Data for rainfall-runoff modelling -- Predicting hydrographs using models based on data -- Predicting hydrographs using distributed models based on process descriptions -- Hydrological similarity, distribution functions and semi-distributed rainfall-runoff models -- Parameter estimation and predictive uncertainty -- Beyond the primer : models for changing risk -- Beyond the primer : next generation hydrological models -- Beyond the primer : predictions in ungauged basins -- Beyond the primer : water sources and residence times in catchments -- Beyond the primer : hypotheses, measurements and models of everywhere.

This new edition extends these aims to include additional chapters dealing with prediction in ungauged basins, predicting residence time distributions, predicting the impacts of change and the next generation of hydrological models.
