Presents the fundamentals to facilitate solving hydraulic problems and to provide tables, graphs, and computer techniques to seek solutions. Includes many numerical problems to assist in honing skills in hydraulic engineering. Includes new materials in computer techniques and a chapter on current software for hydraulic engineering applications. Contains general discussion of the ways in which computer technology is playing an increasingly important role in solving problems related to unsteady flow in open channels and conduits, pipe networks, spillways, sediment transport, shalllow surface water, water quality, reservoir dynamics, hydrodynamic transport in rivers, coastal hydraulics, flow through porous media, hydraulic trubine units and draft tubes, etc.
