This vintage copy of “Synthetic Streamflows” by Myron B. Fiering and Barbara B. Jackson is a seminal work in the field of water resources engineering. Published in 1971, it presents groundbreaking research on mathematical models for simulating and forecasting streamflows, a crucial aspect of water resource management. Fiering, a renowned operations research expert at Harvard University, and Jackson, a mathematician at the Harvard Water Program, developed innovative techniques for generating synthetic streamflow sequences, enabling more accurate planning and decision-making for water supply, flood control, and hydropower operations.
The book’s significance lies in its rigorous statistical analysis and practical applications, making it a must-have for professionals, researchers, and students in hydrology, civil engineering, and environmental sciences. Despite its age, “Synthetic Streamflows” remains a highly influential and frequently cited reference, a testament to the authors’ pioneering work and the enduring importance of water resource management in an era of climate change and increasing water scarcity.
