Canal and River Engineering : Practical principles and historical case studies for designing, managing, and improving waterways.

This book combines engineering theory with real-world examples to help professionals and students understand how rivers and canals work, from early barge canals to modern tidal systems.

This edition surveys how hydraulics, tides, training walls, dredging, and reclamation shape navigation and flood control. It explains core methods for measuring discharge, observing tides, and planning works that improve flow without unduly raising flood risk. The narrative blends historical context with practical guidance, illustrating concepts through documented projects and results.

Explore how different river compartments are defined and treated with tailored works.
Learn about tidal propagation, bore phenomena, and strategies to increase tidal influence while reducing flood risk.
See how ships canals, locks, inclines, and dredging have evolved, with concrete examples from historical and modern practice.
Review case studies showing the effects of training walls, groynes, dredging, and land reclamation on navigation and safety.

Ideal for engineers, students, and readers interested in the history and practice of designing and maintaining navigable waterways.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a highly detailed study of canals both historic and modern, covering their history, engineering, and economic impact from the earliest times to the mid-1800s. The author, a notable civil engineer of the Victorian era, draws on decades of personal experience to provide a comprehensive view of canal engineering, describing designs for still and flowing water and how canals were used to connect rivers in Britain and across Europe, as well as examining their role in the growth of settlements and industries. Given the scale of canal networks at the time of writing, with the advent of railways only briefly touched on, this book provides a fascinating insight into the history of civil engineering and the development of transport networks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331948551_0
