本教材的选题是在充分考查高等院校土木工程、水文水环境相关学科全球化发展的基础上提出的,可成为满足水文水环境专业双语教学和国际交流的需求的优秀教材。内容上,本书以水循环为纲,阐明了水循环各要素和各种水体水文现象的物理机制、时空分布及其相互关系;力图揭示水在自然界的基本运动规律,并反映水文科学的新观点和新成就,体系新颖,内容丰富。结构上,本书主体为英文(约占80%),难点部分有汉语标注(约占20%),以照顾到不同英语水平的学生。在英语语言的准确性上,本书主编李珊珊博士就读于美国路易斯维尔大学土木工程专业的水文水资源方向,导师有多年的水文学科研和教学经验,Thomas D. Rockaway作为本书的参编和校稿,为本书英语内容的准确性提供了保障。
