Essential Hydraulics & Hydrology is a comprehensive text by recognized industry experts that discusses important issues in computer aided hydraulic and hydrologic design. Divided into four sections, Essential Hydraulics and Hydrology addresses topics from calibration with tracer studies and inlet design with the new PHWA standards to system optimization with genetic algorithms and the use of multimedia for product evaluation and continuing education. By combining discussions of both traditional theory and cutting-edge technology, Essential Hydraulics and Hydrology delivers the knowledge all civil engineers and engineering students must access in order to make sense of the diverse and rapid technological advances in their profession.

Preface: Haestad Press evolved out of what the engineers at Haestad Methods saw as the necessity for affordable, quality reference and textbooks dedicated to the practical application of engineering theory to hydraulics and hydrology. In civil engineering education, scientific methods tend to be emphasized over practical and technological approaches to problem-solving, creating a gap between theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge in real-world situations. This presents a serious problem, especially in the area of hydraulics and hydrology since the entire world depends on civil engineers every day for safe drinking water, reliable sewer systems and protection from floods. Haestad Methods has long recognized this problem which consequently divides our interests. As a software company, we are committed to the development of quality computer applications and technical support that provide civil engineers with effective and efficient solutions for complex engineering design, analysis and modeling tasks. On the other hand, because of the lack of resources addressing the practical application of technical knowledge, we also feel the responsibility to play a mentor-role - to teach, educate and inform others about the practical use of existing and developing civil engineering computer technologies... In any discipline, progress can not be made without a forum for sharing ideas and debating vital issues and new approaches to solving age-old problems. Civil engineering periodicals, books, websites, Internet newsgroups and academic institutions all afford this opportunity but many often fail to address topics from a practical or technological standpoint. In the absence of such discussion, the gap between the rapid development of civil engineering design software and the civil engineers' ability to effectively utilize these tools increases at a dramatic rate. Haestad Press promises to bridge this gap by providing civil engineers with the knowledge and resources necessary to understand and master hydraulic and hydrologic engineering computer technology.
