Rigorous, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of water-resources engineering.

Water-Resources Engineering sequentially covers the theory and design applications in each of the key areas of water-resources engineering, including hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning and management. It provides students with a firm understanding of the depth and breadth of the technical areas that are fundamental to their discipline, thus encouraging them to be more innovative, view water-resource systems holistically, and be technically prepared for a lifetime of learning. Presented from first principles, the text is rigorous and reinforced by detailed presentations of design applications. The 4th Edition reflects the state-of-the-art of water-resources engineering, with updated and new material throughout.

This title is also available digitally as a standalone Pearson eText. Contact your Pearson rep for more information.
