Synopses & Reviews
This edition of its popular predecessor has been significantly revised to increase flexibility in the presentation and maintain greater continuity of the material. Combining both theory and practical applications of empirical equations the text contains expanded treatment of water quantity and quality control, a detailed presentation of basic principles and use in analysis and design, hydrograph topics including synthetic and convolution techniques, practical and realistic case studies relating to design problems, and additional end-of-chapter problems. It provides new computer programs to explain complex concepts and solve large data-based problems. An additional appendix offers suggestions for classroom or lab problems.
Synopsis
Complete, up-to-date coverage of the critical issues of water quality, emphasizing the illustration and application of both hydrologic and economic water management techniques. Using a fundamentals through applications approach, the book includes worked examples, case studies, and problems. Current methodologies, such as the use of a spreadsheet in hydrology and the use of the Internet in data collection are covered in this text.
