This important book attempts to make the link between urban and rural hydrology. Essentially the same hydrological processes of attenuation, evaporation, infiltration and other losses occur in both urban and rural areas.Rural and Urban Hydrology provides a description of the various techniques in the Flood Estimation Handbook, which has now superseded the Flood Studies Report as the standard method of estimating flood discharges in UK rivers. Described in detail is the method of estimating low flows recommended for the United Kingdom.
