Hydrology for Engineers (SI Metric Edition)

Hydrology for Engineers (SI Metric Edition)
By Ray K. Linsley, Max A. Kohler, and Joseph L.H. Paulhus

A classic hydrology text first published in 1958 and long treated as a standard reference in the field, built around the hydrologic cycle and the physical processes that drive it. It moves systematically through weather and precipitation, streamflow measurement and interpretation, subsurface water and groundwater, and the synthesis of streamflow hydrographs, before tying everything together in a summary of how these steps combine to solve real engineering problems. Later editions recognize the growing role of digital computation in hydrologic analysis while still preserving the older, manual methods that remain useful for understanding the underlying physics.

Topics commonly covered include:

• The hydrologic cycle
• Weather and precipitation (measurement, variation, snowfall/snowpack)
• Streamflow measurement and data interpretation
• Groundwater and subsurface moisture
• Streamflow hydrographs and hydrograph synthesis
• Precipitation-runoff relationships
• Streamflow routing and simulation
• Probability analysis and flood frequency
• Spillway design flood determination
• Sedimentation and river basin morphology

Key features:

• Long-established classic, continuously revised since its original 1958 publication
• Strong grounding in the physical hydrologic cycle before moving to applied methods
• Balances traditional manual techniques with computer-based hydrologic analysis
• Comprehensive treatment from basic weather processes through to flood design methods
• SI Metric edition adapted for use with metric units throughout

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering students studying hydrology or water resources engineering
• Students specializing in hydraulic structures, dam design, or flood analysis
• Practicing engineers working on hydrologic design and streamflow analysis
• Faculty teaching engineering hydrology courses
