Rezensionen

'This is an excellent textbook for surface water and groundwater hydraulics, as well as water resources engineering. The systematic and detailed presentation of design examples and the high-quality problem sets at the end of each chapter are major strengths and should help the student grasp complicated concepts and design procedures.'
