To get non-metric get the old version used

I've been borrowing this book from other engineers now for 30 years. Don't need it every day, but when I need it nothing else will do. Time to get my own copy. If you work in english units (cfs) best to order the older version used.

a good reference book

I have used this book in my work, it is a very convenient reference book for hydraulics. I think it is worth every penny I spent. This book covers a wide range of the knowlege in this area.

Clasic Hydraulic Handbook: A must for the CE library.

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.
