Synopsis

Master the design of irrigation works with clear principles and practical methods.

This reference presents a detailed, instruction-focused approach to the engineering of irrigation structures. It centers on designing reliable systems by analyzing existing and projected works, with an emphasis on discriminating between sound and weaker designs to guide modern practice.

  • Foundational methods for retaining walls, dams, and weirs, including how to approach stability and pressure considerations.
  • Graphs, tables, and practical rules for applying hydraulic formulas to real-world planning and calculations.
  • Examples of alternative designs and step-by-step analysis to illustrate good design and common pitfalls.
  • Guidance on selecting model designs, assessing performance, and adapting plans to modern development standards.
Ideal for engineers, students, and practitioners seeking a rigorous, applied perspective on irrigation design and its core technical challenges.
