This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed.
Rigorous, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of water-resources engineering. Water-Resources Engineering sequentially covers the theory and design applications in each of the key areas of water-resources engineering, including hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning and management. It provides students with a firm understanding of the depth and breadth of the technical areas that are fundamental to their discipline, thus encouraging them to be more innovative, view water-resource systems holistically, and be technically prepared for a lifetime of learning. Presented from first principles, the text is rigorous and reinforced by detailed presentations of design applications. The 4th Edition reflects the state-of-the-art of water-resources engineering, with updated and new material throughout.

This title is also available digitally as a standalone Pearson eText. Contact your Pearson rep for more information.
