Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This well-established text book fills the gap between the general texts on fluid mechanics and the highly specialised volumes on hydraulic engineering.
It covers all aspects of hydraulic science normally dealt with in a civil engineering degree course and will be as useful to the engineer in practice as it is to the student and the teacher.

Previous ed., London: Spon, 1965.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
