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.

Water resources engineering entails the assessment, development and management of water resources - such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, groundwater, estuaries and coastal waters - for the benefit of mankind. Design of water resources systems presents a comprehensive coverage of the the design fundamentals of key elements of water resources engineering infrastructure.

The first International Conference on Hydraulic Design in Water Resources Engineering held at Southampton University in 1984 brought together engineers interested in channels and channel control structures. It was well attended, very successful and generated papers relating to control and diversion structures, sediment control facilities for headworks and intakes, canals under quasi-steady flow conditions, computer simulation of irrigation and drainage canal systems under unsteady flow conditions, and sediment problems in rivers and the effects of engineering works on the regime of rivers. The success of the first meeting was a major factor in deciding to reconvene the Conference in April 1986, also at Southampton University. The second conference is concerned with the design, constructions and operation of land drainage systems and the wealth of papers received for presentation is an indication of how much this subject has developed in the last few decades. The Conference is intended to bring together as much information as possible in the field of Land Drainage together with forecasts of future developments in this important subject. The Proceedings will provide a unique reference and state-of-the-art presentation to all interested in Land Drainage. The Proceedings incorporate the text of a keynote lecture given by W. H. van der Molen, an eminent researcher. His participation added to the prestige of the Conference and the Editors would like to thank him most sincerely for his contribution.

This in-depth review of water-resources engineering essentials focuses on both fundamentals and design applications.Emphasis on fundamentals encourages readers’ understanding of basic equations in water-resources engineering and the background that is necessary to develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Comprehensive design applications illustrate the practical application of the basic equations of water-resources engineering. Full coverage of hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning and management is provided. Hydraulics is separated into closed-conduit flow and open-channel flow, and hydrology is separated into surface-water hydrology and ground-water hydrology.For professionals looking for a reference book on water-resources engineering.

"Water resources engineers design systems to control the quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of water to support human habitation and the needs of the environment. Water supply and flood control systems are commonly regarded as essential infrastructure for developed areas, and as such water resources engineering is a core specialty area in civil engineering. Water resources engineering is also a specialty area in environmental engineering, particularly with regard to the design of water-supply systems, wastewater-collection systems, and water quality control in natural systems. Overview of book contents. The technical and scientific bases for most water resources applications are in the areas of hydraulics and hydrology, and this text covers these areas with depth and rigor. The fundamentals of closed-conduit open channel surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology, and water resources planning and management are all covered in detail. Applications of these fundamentals include the design of water distribution systems, hydraulic structures, sanitary sewer systems, stormwater management systems, and water supply well fields. The design protocols for these systems are guided by the relevant ASCE, WEF, and AWWA manuals of practice, as well as USFHWA design guidelines for urban and transportation related drainage structures, and USACE design guidelines for hydraulic structures. The topics covered in this book constitute the technical background expected of water-resources engineers. This text is appropriate for undergraduate and first year graduate courses in hydraulics, hydrology, and water resources engineering. Practitioners will also find the material in this book to be a useful reference on appropriate design protocols"--
