International Symposium on Urban Hydrology (Proceedings of Two Special Sessions, Spring Annual Meeting, American Geophysical Union Held at Washington, DC. on 28 May 1979)

摘要

Reports from eleven nations on advances made in the field of urban hydrology since preparation of original reports during 1975-1977 are included. The study is an outgrowth of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP). Updates are provided for Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, India, and the U.S. The most obvious change reported for nearly all of the nations is a greatly increased use of urban runoff mathematical models. The report differentiates between urban hydrology and conventional hydrology, presents background information on the development of IHP, including identification of research objectives, and summarizes information obtained from previous international symposia on urban hydrology.
