Product Description
Book Description
Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems, Fourth Edition is a very useful reference for practicing engineers who want to review basic principles and their applications in hydraulic engineering systems. This fundamental treatment of engineering hydraulics balances theory with practical design solutions to common engineering problems. The author examines the most common topics in hydraulics, including hydrostatics, pipe flow, pipelines, pipe networks, pumps, open channel flow, hydraulic structures, water measurement devices, and hydraulic similitude and model studies. Chapters dedicated to groundwater, deterministic hydrology, and statistical hydrology make this text ideal for courses designed to cover hydraulics and hydrology in one semester.
From the Publisher
Designed to bridge the gap between basic principles and the techniques applied to the design and analysis of hydraulic engineering systems. This text exposes students to many problems commonly encountered in practice, various solution scenarios (e.g., design formulas, tables, and computer software) that are written by one of the largest commercial vendors of hydrology and hydraulics software.

Fairly Good book, May 18 2005
By EnvME "ENVME" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems (Hardcover)
I used this book for my first course in Hydraulics and thought this book was pretty good. The material is organized well and the chapters get right to the point, I thaught one improvement that could be made would be to put more examples in the text.

Great book, Oct 4 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems (Hardcover)
This book is well written and takes you back a step or two had you forgotten the basic principles of fluid mechanics or open channel flow. The example problems are very helpful and the small book size makes it nice to carry around. Quite pricy but a great reference to have around for most hydraulic applications.

Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater Quality, Nov 5 2011
By Dixie M. Griffin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems (Hardcover)
Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater Quality: Engineering Applications and Computer ModelingThis is a nicely written, compact text. I have used it for a beginning hydrology course. It gets the point across without burying the reader in unnecessary details. I would recommend it for beginning hydrology courses in civil engineering programs as well as for practicing engineers who need a reference text or need to brush up on hydrology
