Civil engineering hydraulics (paperback) (5^th Ed.)

This thorough update of a well-established textbook provides a succinct introduction to the theory of civil engineering hydraulics. Now expanded to cover environmental hydraulics and engineering hydrology, this fifth edition has been revised to reflect current practice and course requirements. Substantial worked example sections are included, plus a wealth of additional exercise problems with an on-line solution manual - see strength of the book has always been its presentation of these exercises, distinguishing it from other books on hydraulics and enabling students to test their understanding of both the theory and the methods of analysis and design. This will appeal to lecturers and students keen to engage in student-centred learning. Civil Engineering Hydraulics will be invaluable throughout a student's entire course, from initial principles through to more advanced applications. By concentrating on the most commonly faced problems encountered by civil engineers in hydraulic engineering, it will also be welcomed by practising engineers as a concise reference.
