Synopsis
A practical and historical guide to building and improving waterways, from early barge canals to modern ship channels.
This work blends explanation of core hydraulic principles with rich case studies, showing how rivers and estuaries are managed for navigation and land reclamation.
The book surveys a wide field of waterway engineering, including how tidal forces shape river compartments, methods for measuring discharge, and the tools engineers use to improve flows, prevent floods, and expand usable land. It ties theory to practice with examples drawn from major canals and rivers, and explains the evolution of dredging, training walls, and locks.What you’ll experience
- Clear introductions to canal and river works, including water supply, cross sections, and locks.
- Explanations of tidal propagation, backwater, and strategies to extend navigation through estuaries.
- Discussions of river compartments, hydrometric observations, and methods to measure discharge.
- Insight into land reclamation, protection, and the balance between navigation and property.
