Hydroinformatics is the rapidly developing field in which
information technology is applied to address water-related
issues such as flood estimation and rainfall-runoff modeling.
This book is a thorough overview of all the latest developments
in this increasingly vital discipline. Hydroinformatics is an
emerging subject that is expected to gather speed, momentum and
critical mass throughout the forthcoming decades of the 21st
century. This book provides a broad account of numerous advances
in that field - a rapidly developing discipline covering the
application of information and communication technologies,
modelling and computational intelligence in aquatic
environments. A systematic survey, classified according to the
methods used (neural networks, fuzzy logic and evolutionary
optimization, in particular) is offered, together with
illustrated practical applications for solving various water-
related issues. These include, but are not limited to, flood
estimation, rainfall-runoff modelling, rehabilitation of
