Hydrometry presents a thorough introduction to the science of hydrometry: the measurement of flow in open channels. Dealing with both traditional techniques and innovative new methods and instruments, in line with the latest ISO standards, this book deals with the main themes of hydrometry: the measurement of water levels and bed levels, of discharge, and of sediment transport; it considers the use of flow measuring structures, hydrological networks, and the organization of surveys. Dr Boiten has extensive experience of teaching students from many countries and backgrounds, and has distilled this experience into a clear and comprehensive account of hydrology and water resource management. Hydrometry will appeal to graduate students and to professionals engaged in hydrology and the management of water resources.

The use of physical models remains an integral part of proving the design of many hydraulic structures, often leading to savings in construction costs, improved efficiency and safety, and avoidance of future operational problems. Mathematical models are also essential to the design of new hydraulics, particularly for the study of large systems or the effect of a structure on a large system. The limitations of mathematical models are continuously decreasing as the power of computers and computational techniques increases, however, the need for cross-validation, either from physical models or from field data, remains.
