Zusatztext This will be an excellent text because of the clarity with which the various equations are dealt with. This will be an excellent book. Informationen zum Autor S. Lawrence Dingman is the author of the most widely used university-level hydrology textbook (Physical Hydrology; 2nd ed. 2002) and a pioneering book introducing earth-sciences and natural-resources students to the hydraulics of natural streams (Fluvial Hydrology, 1984). He has also taught in the University of New Hampshire's Hydrology Program for 30 years while authoring over 40 published research papers and reports on cold-region hydrology, the hydrology of New England, and fluvial hydraulics. Klappentext Fluvial Hydraulics provides a sound qualitative and quantitative understanding of water and sediment flows in natural rivers. This understanding is essential for modeling and predicting hydrologic and geomorphologic processes, erosion, sediment transport, water supply and quality, habitat management, and flood hazards. This book's coverage bridges the gap between the highly quantitative mechanics-based civil-engineering approach to stream hydraulics and the more qualitative treatments of fluvial geomorphology typical of earth-sciences and natural-resources curricula. Measurements of natural river flows illustrate many central concepts.
