SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"One third of the world's land surface is classified as arid or semi-arid and about half the countries are directly affected in some way by problems of aridity. The hydrology of arid and semi-arid areas is also known to be substantially different from that in more humid regions. It is therefore essential that investigation methods appropriate to the former are developed and applied; i.e. strategies for arid and semi-arid region water resources development must recognise the principal characteristics of in situ hydrological processes."--BOOK JACKET.
