Synopsis
Explore the science and practice of hydrology with a timeless reference that blends theory, observations, and real‑world data. This edition gathers core topics from rainfall to evaporation, river flow, tides, springs, wells, and percolation, all with practical tables and measured results that engineers and students can rely on.
Contents center on how water moves through the environment and how to quantify it. You’ll encounter explanations of evaporation, rainfall, and their relationship to temperature, plus historical experiments and charted data that illuminate water supply, drainage, and urban hydraulics. The book presents concrete figures and methods, making it a useful companion for applied science and engineering study.
- Clear discussions of evaporation and rainfall, including their drivers and limitations.
- Tables and calculations that compare rainfall, evaporation, and mean temperatures across regions.
- Illustrative material on water supply, sewer flow, and urban drainage from historical perspectives.
- Practical grounding for engineers, geographers, and students working with water systems.
Ideal for readers seeking a durable, data‑driven reference on hydrology and its applications.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the practical and theoretical aspects of hydraulics, a field of engineering concerned with the movement and behavior of water. Published in the mid-19th century, it reflects the period's burgeoning interest in infrastructure development and the growing demand for accurate calculations in managing water resources. The author, a respected engineer of his time, meticulously presents a wealth of tables, formulas, and practical examples for calculating water discharge, velocity, and pressure in various scenarios. From the flow of water through sluices and pipes to the behavior of rivers and tidal estuaries, the book covers a broad range of applications. It also explores the intricate relationship between water flow, channel geometry, and the erosion of riverbeds, a crucial consideration for constructing and maintaining waterways. By integrating scientific principles with practical observations, the book provides a comprehensive guide for engineers and anyone interested in the complexities of water dynamics. The author's insightful approach, coupled with the extensive collection of tables, makes this a valuable resource for understanding and managing water resources in a rapidly industrializing world. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781333003494_0
