The following eight papers in this number of Water Resources Research are explanatory discussions of some analytical techniques in current use in surface water hydrology. They are presented by the Surface Water Committee in the hope that all hydrologists may benefit through fuller understanding of such techniques. The proposal that the Committee hold a symposium on analytical methods in September 1964 reflected a revitalization of surface water hydrology through the recent introduction of powerful and versatile analytical techniques. Many of these techniques are directly dependent upon computers. Others reflect concepts in numerical analysis made workable through computer availability.
