Book Overview
Learn the principles and practice of water resources engineering from a leader in the field Now updated with a new chapter on sedimentation (Chapter 18), this 2005 Edition of Larry Mays's Water Resources Engineering provides you with the state-of-the-art in the field. With remarkable range and depth of coverage, Professor Mays presents a straightforward, easy-to-understand presentation of hydraulic and hydrologic processes using the control volume approach. He then extends these processes into practical applications for water use and water excess, including water distribution systems, stormwater control, and flood control. With its strong emphasis on analysis and design, this text will be a resource you'll refer to throughout your career Features: New A new chapter covers sedimentation. Practical applications will prepare you for engineering practice. Coverage spans an extraordinary range of topics. Many example problems with solutions will help you hone your problem-solving skills. Practice problems at the end of each chapter offer you the opportunity to apply what you've learned. Includes a review of basic fluid concepts and the control volume approach to fluid mechanics.

Excellent Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
One of my coworkers had this book, I kept using it as a reference so I eventually bought my own copy. It is an outstanding textbook and an important reference book to have on hand. I highly recommned it. It is far better than the "Hydraulic Engineering" textbook I had in college.
Great book for any civil engineering professional

Larry W. Mays has written an outstanding text that provide students with a complete picture of water resources engineering by integrating the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, and contaminant transport processes. The material in the text is presented from first principles, is rigorous, is relevant to the practice of water resources engineering, and is reinforced by detailed presetations of design applications. A text worth having next to vintage books on this subject in W-R engineers' library.
