Clasic Hydraulic Handbook: A must for the CE library., 30 Mar 2000
By Mark Boucher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Hydraulics (Hardcover)
This book has been a standard for Civil Engineers for many years and is likely to be found in every civil engineering firm's library. It has timeless information on coeficients for weirs, orifices, and other drainage structures based on laboratory experiments from several sources. The one in our office is well worn and several have purchased their own copy to have at hand. With it, the CE can be confident in the values s/he uses to calculate flow characterisics. The book has several tables that are handy, but are not needed since the advent of the computer and handheld calculator. However, if one is familiar with the tables and has a good head for numbers, the tables allow for quick estimates of flow characteristics without having to hunt for the calculator.

Great reference, 7 Sep 2001
By "michaeldrouin" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Hydraulics (Hardcover)
If you need a reference manual, this has everything. Although, most people need text books for problem solving, whether they be a student or a professional. This book some how managed to completely avoid sample problems. I returned it.
