Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was not only one of the greatest artists of his time, he was also a great engineer and scientist. A large part of his scientific work was dedicated to understanding the movement, circulation and physical characteristics of water in its different forms. This book makes Leonardo Da Vinci's contributions to the science of water accessible to a wider public and compares his ideas with our present knowledge. Fascinating, revealing and inspiring, Leonardo Da Vinci's Water Theory opens up a new history to the study of water. Two hundred years before Newton, Perrault and Halley, Leonardo Da Vinci was doing hypothesis-driven science and describing and classifying hydrological processes. For example, he came close to the modern definition of the hydrological cycle, recognising that water passes through the major river systems countless times, summing up to volumes much greater than those contained in the worlds oceans. Pfister, Savenije and Fenicia carefully report Da Vincis seminal work and provide a modern hydrological context.The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology.

Effective and better integrated regional water resources management is needed more than ever to complement the increasing demand on water resources. Not only is demand rising, the paradigms of water management are shifting in recognition of the importance of ecosystem functions in providing the life support system for the planet. Such challenges call for innovation. This volume embraces a holistic and comprehensive approach. The focus is on methodological developments in modelling at different scales, and applications of different types of models addressing open questions in practical water management.The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology.

Detailed modelling of groundwater systems is difficult but often vital when they are drinking water sources. Further advances in model calibration are evident from discussion of the use of model reduction techniques. Great progress has been made in assessment of uncertainty of model outputs and how to decrease this uncertainty. However, policy makers still find it hard to cope with model predictions enriched with measures of quantified uncertainty.The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology.

Mary Anderson's selection for this Benchmark Series volume, and the commentaries that she has prepared to accompany the 35 reprinted papers, detail the development of groundwater hydrology during the 20th century. The fundamentals are covered with a translation of Darcy's experimental results that led to Darcy's law, as well as classic papers by Meinzer, Theis and Hubbert, among others. The development of pumping test theory and practice, approaches to estimating aquifer parameters in the field, and flow system analysis are dealt with. Papers reflecting early concerns regarding quantification of uncertainty, how recognition of groundwater interaction with surface water grew, and research on contaminant occurrence and transport, are included. Slichter's (1905) seminal contribution that identified dispersion in the field, and Skibitzke & Robinsons (1963) laboratory findings, are linked with more recent attempts to represent dispersion and heterogeneity with models.The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology.
