Synopsis

Master practical guidance for hydraulic mining success

Discover how to evaluate water supplies, design ditch grades, and plan piping to deliver reliable power for mining operations. This edition distills decades of field experience into clear, actionable steps you can apply on the ground.

This book covers core topics for mine managers and superintendents, from measuring stream flow to choosing the right motors and materials. It explains how to balance water supply, grade, and equipment to maximize efficiency while reducing waste and risk. Practical formulas and examples are shared to help readers estimate head, velocity, and friction in real-world layouts.

How to measure and estimate yearly water supply with simple, repeatable methods
How to set grades and choose ditching or fluming solutions that keep water channels stable
How to calculate friction losses and head in pipes, and how this affects pressure at the nozzle
How to select and evaluate hydraulic motors, pumps, and elevators for mining work

Ideal for readers of mining and hydraulic engineering who want practical, field-tested guidance to plan, build, and run hydraulic operations more efficiently.
