Hydraulics in Environmental Engineering

"Hydraulics is concerned with the practical applications of fluids, primarily liquids, in motion. It is related to fluid mechanics, which in large part provides its theoretical foundation. Hydraulics deals with such matters as the flow of liquids in pipes, rivers, and channels and their confinement by dams and tanks. This book combines thorough coverage of the basic principles of environmental engineering hydraulics with wide-ranging treatment of practical, real-world applications. It is an essential resource for students and practitioners of civil, environmental, and public health engineering and associated disciplines."
