Water-Resources Engineering, 4th Edition, provides foundational instruction in water-resources engineering by combining theory with practical design applications. Presented from first principles, the textbook sequentially explores hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning and management.
Coverage spans conveyance systems, surface and subsurface hydrology, and infrastructure design. Topics include flow in closed conduits and open channels, drainage networks, hydrologic modeling, and groundwater systems.
For the 2021 edition, the textbook added a dedicated section on pump-station design for sanitary sewers. Detailed design presentations throughout the text connect governing physical equations to practical engineering calculations.
