Résumé

For undergraduate hydrology courses in engineering, geology, environmental science, forestry, and geography.

This text gives a real-world, applications-oriented introduction to engineering hydrology with an emphasis on design. It provides comprehensive coverage of the important hydrologic processes, the effects of land use change (including its detection and modeling), and the ethics and professionalism of a practicing hydrologist. Numerous worked examples, case studies, and exercises in each chapter support the concepts presented.

Features

Emphasis on hydrologic design, including how-to procedures - Gives students real-world methods that enable them to practice engineering.
Up to 25 worked case-study examples per chapter - Demonstrates the proper application of design methods.
Up to 80 end-of-chapter assignments.
An introduction to professional ethics - Demonstrates the connection between engineering design and the hydrologist's proper service to society.
Details on the NRCS(SCS) design methods TR-55 and TR-20.
