Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems

This is one of the leading text in the field of hydrology. The Second Enlarged 2001 edition is available from WAVELAND PRESS, INC., P. O. Box 400, Prospect Heights, IL 60070

Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems While retaining the strengths of the first Edition, this thoroughly revised edition provides a thorough understanding of those quantitative elements involved in the development of water resources. Questions pertaining to the development process are addressed: How much water is needed? How much water is available? How are requirements satisfied by supply? How is used-up water properly disposed of?

The text's broad coverage makes it ideal for a variety of courses on hydrology and hydraulic systems, and water resources

Over 280 illustrations and 175 tables, tabular computations, charts, formulas for design, prototype designs, and exercise problems make this text very desirable

Some distinct features include:

• Emphasis on fundamentals and application of basic principles
• Over 225 fully solved examples and over 500 excercise problems
• Detailed treatment of theory and applications of groundwater flow including statistical monitoring, kinematic hydrology
• Systematic treatment of various estimating techniques of surface water flow including synthetic data generation by autoregressive (AR), autoregressive moving average (ARMA), disaggregation, and autorun models
• Analysis and designs of hydraulic structures
• A complete treatment of drainage
• Presentation of contaminant hydrology of surface water, groundwater, and unsaturated media
