FLUID MECHANICS HYDRAULICS HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS (PB 2021) Paperback

Water is a central topic in civil engineering, encompassing fluid mechanics, hydraulics, and hydrology. Fluid mechanics provides the fundamental mathematical and scientific principles for hydraulics and hydrology, which also incorporate empirical data and practical applications. A strong understanding of these three interconnected subjects is crucial for the effective and fair management of water resources, which are often unevenly distributed in time and location, leading to competing demands. "Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources for Civil Engineers" aims to integrate these core areas of study into a single, comprehensive resource. The book emphasizes both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications, supported by worked examples and extensive references for further learning. Its primary audience is civil engineering students who typically learn these subjects separately throughout their academic careers. It also serves as a valuable reference for practicing civil engineers in the water sector looking to refresh and enhance their expertise.
