Water-Resources Engineering - Tapa dura

Undergraduate courses in Water Resources, Hydraulics, and Hydrology. Water-Resources Engineering provides students with a complete picture of water resources engineering by integrating the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, and contaminant fate and transport processes in the hydrologic cycle. The material in the text is presented from first principles, is rigorous, is relevant to the practice of water resources engineering, and is reinforced by detailed presentations of design applications.
