Drainage & Retaining Walls text,

This review is from: Builder's Guide to Drainage & Retaining Walls (Paperback)
Do not buy this book, it's useless unless you're an engineer. It is not a book, it is a series of bullet points about some subjects and then the other half of the book is a bunch of blueprints for projects the authors have done in the past. The likelyhood these will be of value to the reading is minimal. You could read cover to cover and learn next to nothing.

Importance of drainage,
By
This review is from: Builder's Guide to Drainage & Retaining Walls (Paperback)
I see that the modern drainage technics have been used a lot in the USA and Europe but are not in South America. I think this happens a lot because of low knowledge of this process. Books like this could help a lot like articles in websites[...].
