Comprehensive and up-to-date, this newly revised Third Edition extends the tradition of excellence established in earlier volumes. With its broad selection of subject material, abundant illustrations, and ample example problems, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems offers students an outstanding, authoritative treatment of the quantitative elements involved in the development of water resources. The Third Edition features a major revision of all hydraulic-related material. The principles of hydraulics and the basic concepts underlying the application of those principles have been included in a new chapter, while hydraulic devices for measuring flows are now consolidated into a single chapter on hydraulic structures. Computer software applications have been updated throughout, end-of-chapter problems have been expanded, and more examples are presented in SI units. Outstanding features of the Third Edition include: 1) more than 300 illustrations and 175 tables; 2) more than 225 fully solved example problems in both FPS and SI units; 3) 520 end-of-chapter problems for student assignment; 4) detailed treatment of hydrologic field investigation and analytical procedures for data assessment; 5) application of EPA recommended statistical procedures for groundwater monitoring; 6) systematic presentation of various surface water flow assessment techniques; 7) thorough coverage of the principles of hydraulics and the analysis and design of hydraulic systems; and 8) complete treatment of storm, sanitary, agriculture, and urban drainage systems.

From the Inside Flap
"I highly recommend it for instructors who would like to give their students a taste of water resources engineering application and design, while also treating fundamental concepts and theories. The book is very popular with our students, due mainly to its direct and concise presentation, its practical orientation, and its wealth of example problems provided (225 fully solved examples in the 2nd edition)." (Vincent Neary, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, October 2001)

Besides contributing a large number of research papers, he has authored two very successful textbooks, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems, and Introduction to Environmental Engineering.
He worked on the technical scrutiny of energy related projects for inclusion in the National Five Year Plans of India and to monitor their progress. He was a member of the team to investigate the UN sponsored multinational Mano River Valley Hydropower Project in Africa. As a hydrology expert to the Government of Liberia, he set up a network of hydrometric stations and assessed the hydropower potential of the nation. For New York State Energy Resources Development Authority (NYSERDA) , he investigated the small hydropower potential in New York, as part of the team at Center of Regional Technology of Polytechnic University. The center developed the User's Manual for Small Hydropower Development. His research interest has been focused on the energy alternatives and renewable energy developments including wind energy sources which he covered in his environmental book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent water resources book,
By
This review is from: Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems (Hardcover)
I have used this book for Water Resources Engineering that I teach to civil engineering students at Kansas State University. I like the breadth this book has, it covers the basics of H&H and does not spend too much time, in my opinion, on deriving expressions. It has been well received by the over 100 students that have used it. The cost is also a lot less than others.

Excellent refresher,
This review is from: Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems (Hardcover)
Bought this book to brush up on hydrology and hydraulics for the PE exam. I wish my college courses had used this book. It presents somewhat complex material in a format that is easier to understand than most books. There are example problems for every type of calculation. I highly recommend this text to college professors to use in their classes.

An excellent book for hydrology and hydraulics,
By Kristy Oakes (Lincoln, RI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems (Hardcover)
I have recently graduated and am currently working as a Civil/Transportation Engineer for a consulting company. I have used the book in my Water Resources course and worked on it in my Advanced Hydrology class. The strength of the book is all the examples. Many of these are conveniently set up in Table form with a key provided at the bottom of each table. It is an excellent resource that I am using as a reference material now.
