For a senior- or graduate-level first course in water-resources engineering offered in civil and environmental
engineering degree programs. A prerequisite course in fluid mechanics and calculus up to differential equations
is assumed.
Water-Resources Engineering provides comprehensive coverage of hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning
and management. Presented from first principles, the material is rigorous, relevant to the practice of water resources
engineering, and reinforced by detailed presentations of design applications.
Features
Practical design applications-Drawn from the areas of hydraulics, surface water and ground water hydrology,
and hydrologic fate and transport processes.
Coverage of design applications reinforces the basic theory.
Design methods are state-of-the-art, preparing students for engineering practice.
Detailed coverage of hydraulics, hydrology, and contaminant transport in a single text provides a holistic
view of water-resources engineering.
Computer models that are widely used in practice implement the techniques discussed.
It is essential that today's engineers be familiar with state-of-the-art computer models for efficient and
comprehensive engineering design.
Design protocols that are consistent with ASCE, WEF, and AWWA Manuals of Practice-Gives students crucial familiarity
with the codes and design standards that guide most modern designs.
SI used units throughout-Reflects the increasing use of SI units in the United States and keeping students
competitive in the global environment.
