This book deals with probably the most important and certainly the most complex issues in hydrological modelling today, namely distributed, physically-based models. The book consists of contributions from 10 European individuals or teams which are internationally recognised within their respective fields. It covers the various aspects of distributed hydrological modelling, including their coupling with spatial data originating from radars, satellites and geological models. The applicability of the distributed, physically-based approach for addressing environmental issues is dealt with in chapters on modelling of geochemical reactive transport, agricultural pollution and soil erosion. Through definition of a modelling protocol and methodology the book contributes to establishing more rigorous procedures for model setup, calibration, verification and validation. The challenges and future directions in hydrological modelling are addressed in a discussion between one of the principal critics and the editors. The target groups are hydrologists, engineers, water-asset managers and others working with hydrological modelling, either as researchers or practitioners.
