Soil And Water Conservation Engineering, 4Th Ed

0.0

This book combines engineering practices for the solution of erosion and flood control, drainage and irrigational problems. Sufficient hydrologic information--precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and runoff--is given as background for design problems discussed later. The text makes readers aware that the environment must be considered in the design of soil and water facilities. It also features many example problems, with detailed solutions, to facilitate learning.
