Notes on Hydrology and the Application of Its Laws to the Problems of Hydraulic Engineering is a practical, introductory guide to the fundamental phenomena of hydrology and how they apply to real-world hydraulic engineering.

The book collects long‑standing observations and data from many sources to build a usable foundation for students and professionals working with water power, irrigation, flood control, and municipal water supply.

This edition presents a concise, classroom-friendly look at core hydrologic concepts, including the behavior of water in natural systems, rainfall patterns, stream flow, ground water, and the way these elements inform engineering decisions. It emphasizes the need for general knowledge of hydrology and the value of safety factors in planning and design.

Clear explanations of water properties, energy, and pressure as they relate to engineering problems
Organized coverage of rainfall, runoff, percolation, evaporation, and stream discharge
Practical discussions of hydro-meteorology, hydro-geology, and surface-water hydrography
Tables and illustrations that support real-world calculations and analyses

Ideal for readers involved in water supply, irrigation, flood protection, municipal drainage, and other hydraulic engineering applications.
