Synopsis

Solve common hydraulic problems at a glance with a practical, diagram‑driven toolkit.

This edition helps the practicing engineer quickly find accurate results for flows in pipes, channels, sewers, weirs, and fire streams using clear diagrams built on trusted formulas.

Designed to minimize calculation, the book uses slide rules and graph sections to read discharge, velocity, and head directly from diagrams. It emphasizes usable accuracy for everyday projects, acknowledges real‑world variation in pipe sizes and surfaces, and shows how to pair diagrams with standard data for fast, field‑ready results.

• Step‑by‑step explanation of how to apply the Chezy and related formulas through diagrams
• Diagrams for flow in small pipes, long pipes, channels, and sewer networks
• Practical guidance on reading head losses, friction, and discharge from visuals
• Special sections on fire‑streams, nozzles, pumps, and miscellaneous hydraulic diagrams

Ideal for engineers solving everyday hydraulic questions in the field or office, using a trusted diagrammatic approach.
