Book Description

0123123402 978-0123123404 July 11, 1994
The Clean Water Act, with its emphasis on storm water and sediment control in urban areas, has created a compelling need for information in small-catchment hydrology. Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments provides the basic information and techniques required for understanding and implementing design systems to control runoff, erosion, and sedimentation. It will be especially useful to those involved in urban and industrial planning anddevelopment, surface mining activities, storm water management, sediment control, and environmental management.
This class-tested text, which presents many solved problems throughout as well as solutions at the end of each chapter, is suitable for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education courses. In addition, practicing professionals will find it a valuable reference.

Key Features
* Covers major new improvements and state-of-the-art technologies in sediment control technology
* Provides in-depth information on estimating the impact of land-use changes on runoff and flood flows, as well as on estimating erosion and sediment yield from small catchments
* Presents superior coverage on design of flood and sediment detention ponds and design of runoff and sediment control measures

5.0 out of 5 stars A tribute to Coach, January 5, 2000
By 
Bryan Morse (Clemson, SC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments (Hardcover)
As a student, I used this book in both undergraduate and graduate study. It presented the theory and pratical design of hydrology, erosion/sediment control and various other topics in a straight forward manner. Higher mathematics are only presented in order to explain rationale behind theory. The material presented is the result of years of research by the foremost authorities in sediment & erosion control. The methods and designs are presently state-of-the-art. Furthermore, as an engineer, I find this book an invaluable reference in my library and refer to it on a regular basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - best text on the subject..., February 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments (Hardcover)
Excellent text. This book is excellent for student use (undergraduate and graduate courses) as well as professional use. I highly recommend it for anyone analyzing and designing stormwater management systems, including erosion and sedimentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Design Hydrology and Sedimentologgy for Small Catchments, June 13, 2011
This review is from: Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments (Hardcover)
I have used this book as a text for over ten years for both graduate and undergraduate classes. It is the most comprehensive book which I have been able to find which treats many aspects of importance to design engineers and hydrologist. For example, it is virtually impossible to find another book which provides in-depth treatment of design of both vegetated waterways and rock rip-rap lined waterways. I strongly encourage my students to keep the text as it is an excellent design reference for the professional engineer as well.

First Sentence:
The human propensity to occupy areas subject to occasional flooding, to alter natural watercourses, to alter land forms, and to engage in other activities that impact natural hydrologic and sedimentologic processes creates a need to offset those impacts thought to be detrimental through designed flow and sediment control systems. Read the first page
