Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an indispensable guide for practicing engineers, presents historical methods and contemporary innovations in river and canal engineering, including contemporary and historical practices in the construction and execution of waterworks. It includes pioneering insights from the author and their contemporaries on river control, flood prevention, and the training and canalization of rivers. Collected from a vast range of sources, this book draws from textbooks, industry journals, and contemporary research papers to illustrate core concepts and demonstrate the practices of river engineering. With a comprehensive examination of rainfall statistics, the author discusses the estimation of available rainfall and its importance in the efficient design of waterworks, such as reservoirs, canals, and dams. The book comprehensively explores the silting and scouring action of streams and other bodies of water, equipping readers with the knowledge to predict and manage the movement of sediment in various contexts. By presenting a wealth of case studies and examples, the book underscores the practical applications of river and canal engineering principles.
