Soil and Water Conservation Engineering

by T.W. Edminster, Kenneth K. Barnes, Glenn O. Schwab, et al.

Book Overview

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. Makes readers aware that the environment must be considered in the design of soil and water facilities. Features many example problems, with detailed solutions, to facilitate...

Good Book

Good reference, middle of the road in terms of required knowledge (not basic, but not reference only). A little light on some topics, but good overall.

a book to have for environmental engineers

used this book for my water resources engineering class in college. Now, its in my reference shelve at work.

Good book, but needs more information

This book is a good reference for those who works on erosion and sediment control. Needs more information concerning the type of construction necessary for erosion control, because this book touches this subject faintly. I rate it 4 stars because all other information is covered extensively and clear. My interest in this book was for erosion control, but when I tried to look for the information, I was dissapointed. But comparing this book to other similar references, this is the best you can ever find.
