Water Resources Engineering

By Larry W. Mays

Book Overview

A straight-forward , easy to understand presentation of hydraulic and hydrologic processes using the control volume approach. The author extends these processes into practical applications for water use and water excess, including water distribution systems, stormwater control, and flood storage systems.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Textbook

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

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.

Water Resources at your finger tips!

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.
