Soil Hydrology

Más información sobre el libro

The authors present an introduction to the physical interpretation of hydrological phenomena related to soil and the earth's crust. Drawing from their teaching and research experience, the text serves as a foundational resource for future specialists in soil physics and hydrology, as well as for professionals in fields such as agronomy, ecology, environmental protection, forestry, geomorphology, hydrologic science, meteorology, and water management. It aims for simplicity while addressing the complexities of soils and their interactions with the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. Mathematical derivations are simplified to calculus level, allowing readers with limited mathematical background to grasp essential concepts without delving into intricate details. The information provided is deemed adequate for effectively utilizing programs and models in soil hydrology. For those seeking a deeper understanding beyond software usage, further study of related journals is encouraged. The authors acknowledge that simplifying complex events like rain infiltration and evapotranspiration leads to approximations of reality, and similar approaches can be applied in related fields. While the text is not a comprehensive monograph, the selected references reflect the authors' subjective choices, recognizing that many significant works may not be cited. The authors aim to highlight theories and concepts that are broadly applicable, while al
