Master the practical science of water with a trusted engineering reference.
This edition presents a comprehensive manual of hydrology, combining hydraulic tables with analyses of rivers, tides, rainfall, and evaporation. It is designed as a ready-to-use handbook for engineers and practitioners working with water systems, drainage, and hydraulic design.
This practical guide builds on a long history of field-tested data and methods. It collects essential tables and calculations in uniform, decimal form to support real-world decision making. The book emphasizes consistent results across varying conditions, offering data that engineers can rely on when planning and inspecting waterworks, channels, and related projects.
- Core hydraulic tables and related data for practical calculations
- Rivers, flow of water, springs, wells, and percolation topics
- Tides, estuaries, tidal rivers, and rainfall/evaporation data
- Intended for daily use by professionals in engineering and hydraulics
Ideal for readers who want a durable, work-ready reference on hydraulics and hydrodynamics, with an emphasis on real-world application and measurements.
