Contents Notes
Introduction -- Water resources sustainability -- Hydraulic processes: flow and hydrostatic forces -- Hydraulic processes: pressurized pipe flow -- Hydraulic processes: open-channel flow -- Hydraulic processes: groundwater flow -- Hydrologic processes -- Surface runoff -- Reservoir and stream flow routing -- Probablity, risk, and uncertainty analysis for hydrologic and hydraulic design -- Water withdrawals and uses -- Water distribution -- Water for hydroelectric generation -- Flood control -- Stormwater control: storm sewers and detention -- Stormwater control: street and highway drainage and culverts -- Design of spillways and energy dissipation for flood control storage and conveyance systems -- Sedimentation and erosion hydraulics -- Water resources management for sustainability -- Appendix A. Newton-Raphson method. Environmental engineers continue to rely on the leading resource in the field on the principles and practice of water resources engineering. The second edition now provides them with the most up-to-date information along with a remarkable range and depth of coverage. Two new chapters have been added that explore water resources sustainability and water resources management for sustainability. New and updated graphics have also been integrated throughout the chapters to reinforce important concepts. Additional end-of-chapter questions have been added as well to build understanding. Environmental engineers will refer to this text throughout their careers.
