Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems
Comprehensive and up-to-date, this newly revised Third Edition extends the tradition of excellence established in earlier volumes. With its broad selection of subject material, abundant illustrations, and ample example problems, Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems offers students an outstanding, authoritative treatment of the quantitative elements involved in the development of water resources. The Third Edition features a major revision of all hydraulic-related material. The principles of hydraulic

Review by Dr. Steven K. Starrett for Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems

I have used this book for Water Resources Engineering that I teach to civil engineering students at Kansas State University. I like the breadth this book has, it covers the basics of H&H and does not spend too much time, in my opinion, on deriving expressions. It has been well received by the over 100 students that have used it. The cost is also a lot less than others.

Bought this book to brush up on hydrology and hydraulics for the PE exam. I wish my college courses had used this book. It presents somewhat complex material in a format that is easier to understand than most books. There are example problems for every type of calculation. I highly recommend this text to college professors to use in their classes.

I have recently graduated and am currently working as a Civil/Transportation Engineer for a consulting company. I have used the book in my Water Resources course and worked on it in my Advanced Hydrology class. The strength of the book is all the examples. Many of these are conveniently set up in Table form with a key provided at the bottom of each table. It is an excellent resource that I am using as a reference material now.

The book covers comprehensive subjects on hydrology and hydraulics. It is better to use the book for a hydrology reference or text in a course. It has many practical examples for hydrologic engineering: intensity-duration-frequency curve analysis; potential evapotranspiration by Penman method; Thiessen coefficient computation by grid papers; storm sewer design with rational method, etc. Although one generally describes hydraulic subjects in separate books, it includes various hydraulic problems. That would be minor defects.

This is a great deal for a textbook. It covers the basics of hydrology and hydraulics very thoroughly, and better than most other water-resources textbooks. The figures in the third edition are better than in previous ones, though some additional photos or figures would be helpful to augment the many schematics. The only real problem is that you have to jump around a lot to cover any topic in a coherent way, as different techniques for, say rainfall-runoff analysis, may appear in 2 or 3 different chapters. But it’s all in there.
