Summary : "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"--
