The major challenges of the 21 century faced by human beings are how to achieve water security food security energy security and environmental security. Owing to enhanced natural/anthropogenic disasters worldwide these challenges become much more complicated and daunting especially for developing countries. Therefore it is important to highlight the risk of different disasters as well as the modern tools and techniques for minimizing disaster incidence and losses. Disaster management being highly multidisciplinary in nature a comprehensive book dealing with different aspects of disaster management and encompassing important disasters faced by humankind is presently not available. This book is an attempt to fulfill this gap. It provides clear comprehensive and up to date information about different facets of disaster management along with salient case studies. The book highlights the current status of disaster manageme.…

Analysis of trends in low-flow time series of Canadian rivers/M.N. Khaliq and L. Sushama. 11. Exploring trends in climatological time series of Orissa, India using nonparametric trend tests/Dileep K. Panda and A. Kumar. 12. Analysis of trend and periodicity in long-term annual rainfall time series of Nigeria/Philip G. Oguntunde and Babatunde J. Abiodun. Appendices. Index. There is a dearth of relevant books dealing with both theory and application of time series analysis techniques, particularly in the field of water resources engineering. Therefore, many hydrologists and hydrogeologists face difficulties in adopting time series analysis as one of the tools for their research. This book fills this gap by providing a proper blend of theoretical and practical aspects of time series analysis. It deals with a comprehensive overview of time series characteristics in hydrology/water resources engineering, various tools and techniques for analyzing time series data, theoretical details of 31 available statistical tests along with detailed procedures for applying them to real-world time series data, theory and methodology of stochastic modelling, and current status of time series analysis in hydrological sciences. In addition, it demonstrate the application of most time series tests through a case study as well as presents a comparative performance evaluation of various time series tests, together with four invited case studies from India and abroad.…
