-- Institute of Water and Environmental Management Journal
The authors have done a considerable service to hydraulics by producing such a stunningly simple and clear text.
-- Times Higher Education Supplement
Chadwick (coastal engineering, University of Plymouth) combines coverage of basic principles of hydraulics with wide-ranging treatment of real-world applications, in this resource for students and practitioners of civil, environmental, and public health engineering. Environmental implications and computational modeling are also covered. This edition contains new material on wave theory, sediment transport, and flood hydrology.
