Experience after reading the book by Ray K Linsley (Author)

The book serves as best teacher.Being a water resource engineer,it gives me pride to read the rich experience inherited by the great author and makes me more energetic in applying the theory in to real practice.In order to ripe the fruits in the book by a large community,in practice, in this field, in the third world,it need less to emphasise that the these editions , may be made available at prices amenable to the users.I hope every water resource engineer should have a copy of the book thus satisfying the possible great objective of author Ray K Linsley and co authors for popularising the system as a whole for the benefit of users.

Superbly written, easy to understand

This is an outstanding book despite being over 10 years old. The clarity of the text and examples is far superior to the average text. One of the few books I have been able to easily learn new material from without having the benefit of a class to attend.

Nuts and Bolts on Water Engineering

This was my textbook for Water Resources during Engineering School in the Spring of 1985. I have the Third Edition. It is well worn, underlined, highlighted and annotated, evidence of a very useful book! At my current position as Water Engineer at an Air Force Base, it is at the top of my shelf with my most used refernces. The right mix of theory and application. You will need a basic knowledge of Fluid Mechanics to use this text effectively.

The best WRE book that also keeps up with the times

This book is one of the few books that introduced me to Water Resources Engineering as a student and I am still using it more than twenty years later as a University teacher and a Professional Consultant!It contains some hydrology, some probability, some engineering economy, and some water resources planning to supplement the material on hydraulic machines and structures, water resources projects such as hydropower, wastewater treatment, irrigation, river engineering/navigation, flood damage mitigation, and water supply. It also has worked examples, exercises, and useful tables.This book does not overload you with verbosity. It just gives you enough to make a topic sufficiently clear for one to proceed with using the same in real situations.

The Metcalf and Eddy of Water Resources

As part of the McGraw Hill series in Environmental Engineering, this book covers all aspects of Water Resource Engineering from Hydraulics to Hydrology to Water Supply and Flood Control.The book contains many useful reference tables and descriptive graphs and illustrations as well as all the standard equations and calculation methods. The book also gives tables and empirical equations in both Imperial and SI units.The indented audience for the book is a professional engineer and may be beyond the general reader.
