Hydrologist extraordinaire Robert 'Bob' Hirsch emailed me to announce that the 2020 version of the classic USGS publication 'Statistical Methods in Water Resources' is now available as a PDF! Click here.
From his email:
“The 2nd edition of Statistical Methods in Water Resources is now available as a USGS Report! We emphasize topics not always found in intro textbooks and we point scientists toward robust & nonparametric statistics & to exploratory data analysis.”
Here's the blurb from the website:
This text began as a collection of class notes for a course on applied statistical methods for hydrologists taught at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Training Center. Course material was formalized and organized into a textbook, first published in 1992 by Elsevier as part of their Studies in Environmental Science series. In 2002, the work was made
available online as a USGS report.
The text has now been updated as a USGS Techniques and Methods Report. It is intended to be a text in applied statistics for hydrology, environmental science, environmental engineering, geology, or biology that addresses distinctive features of environmental data. For example, water resources data tend to have many variables with a lower bound of zero, tend to be more skewed than data from many other disciplines, commonly contain censored data (less than values), and assumptions that the data are normally distributed are not appropriate. Computer-intensive methods (bootstrapping and permutation tests) now improve upon and replace the dependence on t-intervals, t-tests, and analysis of variance. A new chapter on sampling design addresses questions such as “How many observations do I need?” The chapter also presents distribution-free methods to help plan sampling efforts. The trends chapter has been updated to include the WRTDS (Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season) method for analysis of water-quality data. This new version contains updated graphics and updated guidance on the use of statistical techniques. The text utilizes R, a programming language and open-source software environment, for all exercises and most graphics, and the R code used to generate figures and examples is provided for download.
A hard copy will be available for sale in a month or so. Bob also told me that he had officially retired from the USGS but is still active. Thank heavens!
NEWS FLASH! Bob (see his comment below) tells me the hard copy is available from the USGS store. Click here. It is < $25 including shipping. That price may go up, so order now (posted 21 September 2020)

"It shouldn’t be any extra work to transfer your face-to-face class to an online format.And once you’ve done that,it should be easy to offer both at the same time.Two delivery modes,one class for workload! Win-Win!And if we add a few more students,what’s the big deal?"- @ass_deans
"The Sacramento Valley is a great example where people seem to fight less and accomplish more in the difficult struggle to do the right things." - @JayLund113

Mike: We really liked your comments of a few months ago, regarding the textbook "Statistical Methods in Water Resources" 2020 revision, by USGS authors Helsel, Hirsch, Ryberg, Archfield, and Gilroy. I can now report that this text is not only available for free as a pdf, but can be purchased in hard-copy for less than $25 (including shipping) from the USGS. The price may go up in the future when the next print run happens. It is a reference work that I think a lot of students and practicing hydrologists will like having on their desk. The URL for it is. https://store.usgs.gov/product/533012
