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.

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.

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.

so far not a bad book...ask again at the end of the semester.
