Advances in Hydroscience, Volume 2 is a five-chapter text that considers the significant
advances in various fields of hydroscience. Chapter 1 deals with the basic concept,
hydrodynamics, methods of study, and case history of tsunami, while Chapter 2 focuses
on chemical geohydrology, which treats the portion of the hydrological cycle that
relates the chemical character of water to its environment. Chapter 3 concerns a subject
in biohydrodynamics, namely, the hydrodynamic behavior of dolphins, with an emphasis
of its application in controlling the natural environment. Chapter 4 describes the
