The ever increasing demand for the supply of fresh water has given rise to the need for optimal management of water resources worldwide. Hydrology plays the central role in the development and management of water resources and therefore, the protection of the environment. Hydrology forms a part of many diverse fields such as agriculture, civil engineering, environmental engineering, geology and earth sciences, as well as forestry and meteorology. Written specifically for professionals dealing with water resources planning, development, and management, Hydrology and Water Resources focuses on surface water hydrology. It covers hydrologic processes, analysis, and design. The book illustrates the terms of the hydrologic cycle and discusses the possible methods of their estimation. The author underscores the role of statistics and probabilities and covers precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, stream flow-runoff estimation, evapotranspiration, hydrograph, flood estimation and routing, reservoir, sedimentation, and more. The author emphasizes the applicability of the text materials to real-world situations. Using data from the field, a large number of hydologic design problems have been worked out for each chapter to illustrate the analysis and design procedures. Whether a student, researcher, or working in the field, you need a reference written in a simple, lucid style. You need a resource with authoritative information. You need Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering.

Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering illustrates all the terms of the hydrologic cycle and discusses the possible ways of their estimation. Application of the methods to the field problems are discussed extensively. The book focuses primarily on surface water hydrology and all the aspects of hydrologic processes, analysis, and design. A book on water resources engineering cannot be complete without a discussion on the statistics, probabilities and ground water hydrology. These aspects are covered adequately in separate chapters. All the hydrologic processes and storages such as precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, stream flow-runoff estimation, evapo-transpiration, hydrograph, flood estimation, flood routing, reservoir and sedimentation are covered with a number of alternative approaches to solve the problems, followed by examples, taken from field data to make the readers understand the techniques conceptually.

This textbook attempts to cover all the topics concerning fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines, keeping in view the requirements of undergraduate engineering students of all branches. Beginning with fundamentals, advanced topics are discussed towards the end of each chapter. This book written in SI System of units should be a single guiding reference material for most university examinations, AMIE and other competitive examinations. While dealing with various aspects, emphasis is on showing a physical picture of the situation with the help of diagrams.
