FOREWORD AND TABLE OF CONTENTS
OF "HYDROLOGY" BY M. A., VELIKANOV
The following presents the foreword and table of contents of the above
This is the fourth edition of this book; and it has been considerably
supplemented and revised in comparison with the preceding issues. The book
discusses general problems of hydrology as a science, elements of the water
balance, the morphology and regime of rivers, lakes, and swamps, the statis-
tical method in hydrology, the mechanism of surface runoff, and river runoff,
sediments, and bedding processes.
The book has been approved by the Ministry of Higher Education as a text
for state universities and higher hydrometeorological schools. At the same
time, it may prove useful for engineering hydrologists and for persons who are
preparing for scientific work in the field of hydrology.
1. Hydrology as a Science
2, A Brief Historical Survey
3. Hydrological Cycle in Nature
4. Surface of a Continent
