Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- A single-volume engineering treatise on the analysis of watershed and river systems, issued by Simons, Li & Associates of Fort Collins, Colorado. The work addresses fluvial engineering and environmentally considered water-related projects, including flood control, hydropower and hydrology. Its scope covers the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of alluvial channels, sediment transport, bank erosion, scour and deposition, floodplain geometry, and the geomorphic response of river systems, with treatment of hydraulic parameters such as Manning's resistance to flow, kinematic wave routing, hydrographs, riprap protection, and 100-year flood estimation. Recurring case material draws on watercourses including Sabino Canyon, Cortaro Creek, the Oro Valley and Cochiti. The text is illustrated with diagrams, charts and mathematical equations and engineering projects, and closes with 54 pages of references. It served as a companion reference to the firm's subsequent Design Manual for Engineering Analysis of Fluvial Systems, prepared for the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
