Hard to follow James Brown This was recommended to me to help prepare for a PLS exam. Maybe this is easy to follow if you have a civil engineering background (although if that were the case, I'm not sure why you'd be interested in an "Introduction" to this subject), but the author makes numerous apparent leaps and assumptions and introduces unqualified variables that frankly make this extremely difficult for a non-engineer like me to follow, especially wi. "hydraulics, hydrology text" according to Ll. I would like to see a companion guide with the solutions to the problems. Excellent resource and lots of great examples to work through. Used for two separate classes, NICE>. Jonathan said as good as new!. This was a great deal for an excellent book. It was a used book but there was not any wear and tear on it.
Next, concepts of rainfall, runoff, and routing are fully explored and investigated. Finally, these concepts are applied to the solution of practical engineering problems, including: open-channel flow, orifice and weir flow, culvert flow and storm sewer design, culvert design, and detention basin design. A history of water engineering and discussion of the basic concepts of computation and design are included at the beginning of the book for the benefit of readers who may be new to this field. The book begins by acquainting readers with the principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, starting with fluid mechanics and progressing through pressure, flow, and energy considerations. Expanded from 12 to 15 chapters, this edition of Introduction to Hydraulics & Hydrology continues to guide readers to an understanding of the concepts of hydraulics and surface water hydrology as they are used i
