Industrial Hydrology : Integrating Water Resources, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Frameworks

Industrial Hydrology serves as a comprehensive reference designed to bridge the knowledge gap between traditional hydrology and the specific water-related challenges of industrial development. This book serves multiple stakeholders involved in industrial site infrastructure development, including regulatory agencies, hydrologists, pollution control authorities, and those in affected communities. It provides essential knowledge on regulatory requirements for establishing and operating water-dependent industries, with particular focus on environmental impact assessments, water supply regulations, and hydro-environmental impacts. Key features: Addresses the unique hydrological behavior of industrialized watersheds, which differs significantly from urban, rural, or other watershed categories. Offers practical guidance for conducting hydrological studies in ungauged catchments using regional data and methods.
