| Summary |
"Water-Resources Engineering, by David A. Chin, provides students with a complete picture of water-resources engineering by integrating the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, hydraulics, hydrology, and containment 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 presentations of design applications."--BOOK JACKET |
