Stochastic Hydrology and its Use in Water Resources Systems Simulation and Optimization
Shastic hydrology is an essential base of water resources systems analysis, due to the inherent randomness of the input, and consequently of the results. These results have to be incorporated in a decision-making process regarding the planning and management of water systems. It is through this application that shastic hydrology finds its true meaning, otherwise it becomes merely an academic exercise.
A set of well known specialists from both shastic hydrology and water resources systems present a synthesis of the actual knowledge currently used in real-world planning and management.
The book is intended for both practitioners and researchers who are willing to apply advanced approaches for incorporating hydrological randomness and uncertainty into the simulation and optimization of water resources systems.


(abstract)
Shastic hydrology is a basic tool for water resources systems analysis, due to inherent randomness of the hydrologic cycle. This book contains actual techniques in use for water resources planning and management, incorporating randomness into the decision making process. Optimization and simulation, the classical systems-analysis technologies, are revisited under up-to-date statistical hydrology findings backed by real world applications.
