An introduction to hydraulic geometry, discussion of different related theories, and their application in river engineering. Handbook of Hydraulic Geometry provides an excellent summary for hydraulic engineers, as well as graduate students and researchers in fluvial geomorphology and environmental engineering.

The handbook has been composed on the basis of processing, systematization and classification of the results of a great number of investigations published at different time. The essential part of the book is the outcome of investigations carried out by the author. The present edition of this handbook should assist in increasing the quality and efficiency of the design and usage of indutrial power engineering and other constructions and also of the devices and apparatus through which liquids and gases move.

Written by an expert with thirty years experience in the field,this is a concise review of the hydrodynamic concepts andcalculation procedures, upon which fluvial hydraulics isbuilt. The first part is devoted to steady uniform and non-uniform as wellas unsteady flow in open channels. The second part deals withtransport phenomena, including sediment transport and local scour,turbidity currents and mixing processes in open channels. The volume is divided into nine chapters of unequal length whichare autonomous and self-contained. The subject matter presented ineach chapter is usually followed by a number of solved exercises,accompanied by a detailed discussion of the solution procedure.Unsolved problems are given at the end of each chapter. The book is written in a user-friendly style and has a doublevocation. It will readily serve as a textbook for undergraduateand/or graduate students as well as a handbook for theprofessionals dealing with problems in environmental, waterresources, civil, hydraulic and agricultural engineering, and ingeomorphology and geology.

While most books examine only the classical aspects of hydrology, this three-volume set covers multiple aspects of hydrology, and includes contributions from experts from more than 30 countries. It examines new approaches, addresses growing concerns about hydrological and ecological connectivity, and considers the worldwide impact of climate change

This exciting new textbook introduces the concepts and tools essential for upper-level undergraduate study in water resources and hydraulics. Tailored specifically to fit the length of a typical one-semester course, it will prove a valuable resource to students in civil engineering, water resources engineering, and environmental engineering. It will also serve as a reference textbook for researchers, practicing water engineers, consultants, and managers. The book facilitates students' understanding of both hydrologic analysis and hydraulic design. Example problems are carefully selected and solved clearly in a step-by-step manner, allowing students to follow along and gain mastery of relevant principles and concepts. These examples are comparable in terms of difficulty level and content with the end-of-chapter student exercises, so students will become well equipped to handle relevant problems on their own. Physical phenomena are visualized in engaging photos, annotated equations, graphical illustrations, flowcharts, videos, and tables.
