A supplement to the classic Sedimentation Engineering (Manual 54), this new volume not only documents the evolution of the field over a 50-year period, but also reports on the state of the practice. This manual addresses new topics in physical processes, measurements, modeling, and practice, mainly in the context of rivers and inland water bodies. With contributions from internationally recognized experts in various fields, MOP 110 will benefit hydrologists, geomorphologists, sedimentoloigists, land-use planners, and soil conservation specialists, as well as environmental, hydraulic, and agricultural engineers Notes Complementary to Sedimentary engineering, edited by Vito A. Vanoni Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Sediment transport. Soil conservation. Sediments (Geology) Conservation of natural resources.
