5.0 out of 5 stars Nuts and Bolts on Water Engineering, December 22, 2000

This review is from: Water Resources Engineering (Hardcover)

This was my textbook for Water Resources during Engineering School in the Spring of 1985. I have the Third Edition. It is well worn, underlined, highlighted and annotated, evidence of a very useful book! At my current position as Water Engineer at an Air Force Base, it is at the top of my shelf with my most used refernces. The right mix of theory and application. You will need a basic knowledge of Fluid Mechanics to use this text effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Metcalf and Eddy of Water Resources, May 18, 2000

By 

Zoe Broom - See all my reviews

This review is from: Water Resources Engineering (Hardcover)

As part of the McGraw Hill series in Environmental Engineering, this book covers all aspects of Water Resource Engineering from Hydraulics to Hydrology to Water Supply and Flood Control.

The book contains many useful reference tables and descriptive graphs and illustrations as well as all the standard equations and calculation methods. The book also gives tables and empirical equations in both Imperial and SI units.

The indented audience for the book is a professional engineer and may be beyond the general reader.

This review is from: Water Resources Engineering (Hardcover)

This is an outstanding book despite being over 10 years old. The clarity of the text and examples is far superior to the average text. One of the few books I have been able to easily learn new material from without having the benefit of a class to attend.
