Mays (civil and environmental engineering, Arizona State University) presents hydraulic and hydrologic processes using the control volume approach. He then extends these processes into practical applications for water use and water excess, including water distribution systems, stormwater control, and flood control. Chapter problems and worked solutions are included. The text can be used for a first undergraduate course in hydraulics, hydrology, or water resources engineering, and for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in water resources engineering design. This edition of the text contains a new chapter on sedimentation and erosion hydraulics. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Larry W.
