Volume III
Volume III of Geospatial Information Handbook for Water Resources and Watershed
Management discusses water and watershed issues such as water quality,
evapotranspiration, water resource management, and ecological services.
Featured is a two-stage ditch and river geomorphology case study section
with related water geospatial applications, including historical image analy-
ses of floodplains and channels and resulting change in river geomorphol-
ogy through erosion and transport and influence on dependent vegetation
communities.
• Captures advanced Geospatial Technologies ( GT) and their applica-
tions to address a wide spectrum of water issues
• Provides real-world two-stage ditch and river geomorphology case
studies using river, stream and channel measures and change mod-
els, and bankfull discharge modeling
• Global in coverage with applications demonstrated by more
than 170 experts in water sciences and two-stage ditch and river
geomorphology
This handbook is a wide-ranging and contemporary reference of advanced
geospatial techniques used in numerous practical applications at the local
and regional scale and is an i n-depth resource for professionals and the
water research community worldwide.

Editors
Over the years, John G. and Lynn Lyon have worked on water issues with
great interest and heart. A hallmark of their scholarship has been helping
others with scientific authorship. Books are a great way to capture thoughts
and methods and make them accessible to others worldwide. In that vein,
here they have advanced a whole cadre of thought leaders with a broad focus
on water.
Whether on the local, regional, continental, or global scale, water issues
unite passions. Part of the challenge is the breadth and complexity of water.
If many people take a piece, the whole society can fashion sustainable out-
comes. This handbook is focused on presenting a number of ways to facili-
tate these thoughtful contributions.
John earned a PhD from the University of Michigan, and Lynn earned a
master’s degree from Ohio State University.
