Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems, Fourth Edition

Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems, Fourth Edition

For more than 25 years, the multiple editions of <i>Hydrology & Hydraulic Systems</i> have set the standard for a comprehensive, authoritative treatment of the quantitative elements of water resources development. The latest edition extends this tradition of excellence in a thoroughly revised volume that reflects the current state of practice in the field of hydrology.<p> Widely praised for its direct and concise presentation, practical orientation, and wealth of example problems, <i>Hydrology & Hydraulic Systems</i> presents fundamental theories and concepts balanced with excellent coverage of engineering applications and design. The Fourth Edition features a major revision of the chapter on distribution systems, as well as a new chapter on the application of remote sensing and computer modeling to hydrology.<p> Outstanding features of the Fourth Edition include:<p> More than 350 illustrations and 200 tables<p> More than 225 fully solved examples, both in FPS and SI units<p> Fully worked-out examples of design projects with realistic data<p> More than 500 end-of-chapter problems for assignment<p> Discussion of statistical procedures for groundwater monitoring in accordance with the EPA's <i>Unified Guidance</i><p> Detailed treatment of hydrologic field investigations and analytical procedures for data assessment, including the USGS acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) approach<p> Thorough coverage of theory and design of loose-boundary channels, including the latest concept of combining the regime theory and the power function laws<p> Not-for-sale instructor's resource materials available online to college and university faculty only; contact publisher directly.<p> Titles of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Benjamin, <i>Water Chemistry,</i> Second Edition (ISBN 9781478623083); Chapra, <i>Surface Water-Quality Modeling</i> (ISBN 9781577666059); Charbeneau, <i>Groundwater Hydraulics and Pollutant Transport</i> (ISBN 9781577664796); Dingman, <i>Physical Hydrology,</i> Third Edition (ISBN 9781478611189); Fetter et al., <i>Contaminant Hydrogeology,</i> Third Edition (ISBN 9781478632795); and Manning, <i>Applied Principles of Hydrology,</i> Third Edition (ISBN 9781478634195).
