Modern water conveyance and storage techniques are the product of thousands of years of human innovation; today we rely on that same innovation to devise solutions to problems surrounding the rational use and conservation of water resources, with the same overarching goal: to supply humankind with adequate, clean, freshwater. Water Resources Engineering presents an in-depth introduction to hydrological and hydraulic processes, with rigorous coverage of both core principles and practical applications.

The discussion focuses on the engineering aspects of water supply and water excess management, relating water use and the hydrological cycle to fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, energy, and other physical concepts, while emphasizing the use of up-to-date analytical tools and methods. Now in its Third Edition, this straightforward text includes new links to additional resources that help students develop a deeper, more intuitive grasp of the material, while the depth and breadth of coverage retains a level of rigor suitable for use as a reference among practicing engineers.

New to this Edition:

Includes over 100 new student problems, selected solutions, and designated practice problems allow for extensive independent study
Enhanced e-book format features embedded links to resources, including lecture slides and an image gallery to aid in student comprehension
Approximately 20% of problems have been set aside for instructor use only, facilitating assignment and assessment development

Book Features:

Emphasizes the importance of design, and its relevance to hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources
Describes design procedures consistent with government standards and requirements
Provides real-world examples that boost engagement while enhancing critical problem-solving skills
Uses a control volume approach to the fundamentals of continuity, energy, and momentum
Serves as both a straightforward introductory text and a rigorous professional reference
