Stochastic Hydraulics '96: Proceedings of the 7th IAHR international symposium, Mackay, Queensland, Australia, 29-31 July 1996 / Edition 1

by I.C.Xu Goulter, K.S. Tickle, S. Wasimi

Overview

The growing pressure on the world's water resources coupled with the increasing vulnerability of society to the impacts of extreme events, has resulted in a need to consider explicitly the stochastic processes which underly the environment in which water resources & hydraulic infrastructure is constructed. The effective and practical integration of the theory and application of hydraulics with probabilistic analysis is one of the most challenging tasks facing researchers and practioners working in design, operation, and management of water resources infrastructure under these conditions. This symposium reports on the latest developments in stochastic hydraulics across a wide range of applications including river hydraulics sediment transport, catchment hydraulics, groundwater, waves and coastal process, hydraulic networks and structure, hydrology, risk and reliability in hydraulic design and water resources in general.

Editorial Reviews

The July 1996 symposia brought together scientists and engineers to exchange new developments in hydraulic and stochastic analyses in order to meet the water resource demands of a world nearing full exploitation. With that in mind, the 84 papers apply their expertise and research to topics in river hydraulics, sediment transport, hydrology, risk and reliability in hydraulic design and water resources in general. Includes illustrations. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
