Engineering Analysis of Fluvial Systems

no dust jacket, blank sticker on first page, A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- An engineering treatment of river and watershed behavior by Simons Li and Associates. It deals with the hydrologic, hydraulic and geomorphic processes that govern alluvial channels: rainfall and runoff, flood hydrographs, kinematic wave methods, resistance to flow and Manning's roughness, bed forms including antidunes, and sediment transport by bed load and suspended load. Considerable attention goes to how channels respond to change, covering aggradation, degradation, headcuts, bank erosion, meandering and braided patterns, sinuosity and thalweg shifts. Engineering applications include scour at bridges and drops, riprap protection, dredging and reservoir effects. The worked examples include Southern Arizona sites such as Tanque Verde, Sabino Canyon, Oro Valley and Cortaro, along with Cochiti. …
