Main description:
This book is not only a reference for researchers but also a basis for practising engineers. It can be used as a text book for graduate students, although it has the characteristics of a reference book. It addresses mainly the sewer hydraulician who has to tackle many a problem in daily life, and who will not always find an appropriate solution. Each chapter is introduced with a summary to outline the contents. To illustrate application of the theory, examples are presented to explain the computational procedures. Further, to relate present knowledge to the history of hydraulics, some key dates on noteworthy hydraulicians are quoted. A historical note on the development of wastewater hydraulics is also added. References are given at the end of each chapter, and they are often helpful starting points for further reading. Each notation is defined when introduced, and listed alphabetically at the end of each chapter.
Table of contents:
Basic Equations; Losses in Flow; Design of Sewers; Sewage Pumping - Throttling Devices; Uniform Flow; Critical Flow; Hydraulic Jump and Stilling Basins; Backwater Curves; Culverts - Throttling Pipes - Inverted Siphons; Overfalls; End Overfall; Venturi Flume; Mobile Discharge Measurement; Standard Manhole; Fall Manholes; Junction Manholes; Distributions Channel; Sewer Sideweir; Side Channel; Bottom Opening; Appendix; Subject Index; Authors'Index.

Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage:
"... Kleine Annehmlichkeiten wie die den Kapiteln vorangestellten Abstracts, ausgewählte Begriffsübersetzungen ins Deutsche und Französische, Symbolerklärungen im Text und am Kapitelende oder die Markierung der Rechenbeispiele erleichtern die Arbeit mit dem Buch ... Insgesamt ist der Stoff sowohl didaktisch als auch enzyklopädisch sehr gut aufbereitet, erreicht daher ein breites Fachpublikum und kann als ein hervorragendes Fachbuch weiterempfohlen werden." (R. Pohl, in: WasserWirtschaft, 2011, Issue 11, S. 49)
