This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Hydrology and the Application of Its Laws to the Problems of Hydraulic Engineering These notes are intended to form the basis for an introductory study of the fundamental phenomena of Hydrology, on which the applied science of Hydraulic Engineering should be based. The volume of literature covering many of the various branches of this subject is very great. Unfortunately, however, there is no single treatise which discusses the entire subject, and which can be utilized as a text-book or reference book, to which the student may turn when investigating the various branches of this science. The lack of such a work is the reason for the preparation of these notes, which are intended to be used in connection with various publications to which references are given. From the nature of this subject, it is almost needless to state that very little new or original matter is included in these notes. The principles and laws of Hydrology must, of necessity, be based almost entirely on extended and long-continued observations, consequently the writer has utilized the observations available from a great many sources, and for long periods of time. As far as possible, the sources of the various data, cuts, formula, etc., have been acknowledged, some of the tables have been photographed from other publications, in order to facilitate the publication of these notes (which have been prepared between June and September), hence the typographical work and illustrations are not entirely homogeneous, but the desirable data rather than the typographical method of its presentation has been the main object of this edition.

Download or read book Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering written by Andrew Chadwick and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text, now in its sixth edition, combines a thorough coverage of the basic principles of civil engineering hydraulics with a wide-ranging treatment of practical, real-world applications. It now includes a powerful online resource with worked solutions for chapter problems and solution spreadsheets for more complex problems that may be used as templates for similar issues. Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering is structured into two parts to deal with principles and more advanced topics. The first part focuses on fundamentals, such as hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe and open channel flow, wave theory, physical modelling, hydrology and sediment transport. The second part illustrates engineering applications of these principles to pipeline system design, hydraulic structures, river and coastal engineering, including up-to-date environmental implications, as well as a chapter on computational modelling, illustrating the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design, in a variety of contexts. New material and additional problems for solution have been added to the chapters on hydrostatics, pipe flow and dimensional analysis. The hydrology chapter has been revised to reflect updated UK flood estimation methods, data and software. The recommendations regarding the assessment of uncertainty, climate change predictions, impacts and adaptation measures have been updated, as has the guidance on the application of computational simulation techniques to river flood modelling. Andrew Chadwick is an honorary professor of coastal engineering and the former associate director of the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth, UK. John Morfett was the head of hydraulics research and taught at the University of Brighton, UK. Martin Borthwick is a consultant hydrologist, formerly a flood hydrology advisor at the UK’s Environment Agency, and previously an associate professor at the University of Plymouth, UK.

Download or read book Problem Solving in Engineering Hydrology written by Faris Faris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives of the book are meant to fulfill the main learning outcomes for students registered in named courses, which covered the following: - Solving problems in hydrology and making decisions about hydrologic issues that involve uncertainty in data, scant/incomplete data, and the variability of natural materials. - Designing a field experiment to address a hydrologic question. - Evaluating data collection practices in terms of ethics. - Interpret basic hydrological processes such as groundwater flow, water quality issues, water balance and budget at a specific site at local and regional scales based on available geological maps and data sets. - Conceptualizing hydrogeology of a particular area in three dimensions and be able to predict the effects on a system when changes are imposed on it. Learning outcomes are expected to include the following: - Overview of essential concepts encountered in hydrological systems. - Developing a sound understanding of concepts as well as a strong foundation for their application to real-world, in-the-field problem solving. - Acquisition of knowledge by learning new concepts, and properties and characteristics of water. - Cognitive skills through thinking, problem solving and use of experimental work and inferences - Numerical skills through application of knowledge in basic mathematics and supply issues. - Student becomes responsible for their own learning through solution of assignments, laboratory exercises and report writing. "Problem solving in engineering hydrology" is primarily proposed as an addition and a supplementary guide to fundamentals of engineering hydrology. Nevertheless, it can be sourced as a standalone problem solving text in engineering hydrology. The book targets university students and candidates taking first degree courses in any relevant engineering field or related area. The document is valued to have esteemed benefits to postgraduate students and professional engineers and hydrologists. Likewise, it is expected that the book will stimulate problem solving learning and quicken self-teaching. By writing such a script it is hoped that the included worked examples and problems will guarantee that the booklet is a precious asset to student-centered learning. To achieve such objectives immense care was paid to offer solutions to selected problems in a well-defined, clear and discrete layout exercising step-by-step procedure and clarification of the related solution employing vital procedures, methods, approaches, equations, data, figures and calculations. The new edition of the book hosted the incorporation of computer model programs for the different hydrological scenarios and encountered problems presented throughout the book. Developed programs were coded with Microsoft Visual Basic.NET 10 programming language, using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition. Most of the examples herein have an equivalent code listed alongside through the text. To avoid repetition though, some example programs were omitted whenever there was resemblance to another example elsewhere, to which the reader is kindly requested to refer to.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
