Synopsis

Comprehensive and up-to-date, this newly revised Third Edition extends the tradition of excellence established in earlier volumes. With its broad selection of subject material, abundant illustrations, and ample example problems, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems offers students an outstanding, authoritative treatment of the quantitative elements involved in the development of water resources. The Third Edition features a major revision of all hydraulic-related material. The principles of hydraulics and the basic concepts underlying the application of those principles have been included in a new chapter, while hydraulic devices for measuring flows are now consolidated into a single chapter on hydraulic structures. Computer software applications have been updated throughout, end-of-chapter problems have been expanded, and more examples are presented in SI units. Outstanding features of the Third Edition include: 1) more than 300 illustrations and 175 tables; 2) more than 225 fully solved example problems in both FPS and SI units; 3) 520 end-of-chapter problems for student assignment; 4) detailed treatment of hydrologic field investigation and analytical procedures for data assessment; 5) application of EPA recommended statistical procedures for groundwater monitoring; 6) systematic presentation of various surface water flow assessment techniques; 7) thorough coverage of the principles of hydraulics and the analysis and design of hydraulic systems; and 8) complete treatment of storm, sanitary, agriculture, and urban drainage systems.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"I highly recommend it for instructors who would like to give their students a taste of water resources engineering application and design, while also treating fundamental concepts and theories. The book is very popular with our students, due mainly to its direct and concise presentation, its practical orientation, and its wealth of example problems provided (225 fully solved examples in the 3rd edition)." -- Vincent Neary, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
