Product Description
Learn the principles and practice of water resources engineering from a leader in the field!br br Now updated with a new chapter on sedimentation (Chapter 18), this 2005 Edition of Larry Mays's iWater Resources Engineering/i 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!br br Features: ul liNew! A new chapter covers sedimentation. liPractical applications will prepare you for engineering practice. liCoverage spans an extraordinary range of topics. liMany example problems with solutions will help you hone your problem-solving skills. liPractice problems at the end of each chapter offer you the opportunity to apply what you've learned.br liIncludes a review of basic fluid concepts and the control volume approach to fluid mechanics. /ul

 Great book for any civil engineering professional October 29, 2008

One of the best water resources books. It covers all major and minor topics in water resources and is a great reference for the PE Exam.

This book is loaded with good information, but we found errors in key hydraulic formulas, which quickly led me not to trust anything out of the book. The sad part is, this was a required text for an engineering class. Maybe the new edition has remedied the problems, but I wouldn't recommend the edition I bought.

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.
