Exposes You to Current Industry-Standard Tools. Open channel flow is covered in essentially all civil and environmental engineering programs, usually by final-year undergraduate or graduate students studying water resources. Fundamentals of Open Channel Flow outlines current theory along with clear and fully solved examples that illustrate the concepts and are geared to a first course in open channel flow. It highlights the practical computational tools students can use to solve problems, such as spreadsheet applications and the HEC-RAS program. It assumes a foundation in fluid mechanics, then adopts a deliberately logical sequence through energy, momentum, friction, gradually varied flow (first qualitative, then quantitative), and the basics of sediment transport. Taps into Your Innate Ability to Understand Complex Concepts Visually. Open channel flow can be understood through just a few simple equations, graphs, and computational tools. For students, the book comes with downloadable animations that illustrate basic concepts visually with synchronous graphical presentation of fundamental relationships. For instructors, PowerPoint slides and solutions to end-of-chapter problems are provided : Delivers simple but powerful software animations ; Conveys material in three ways (analytical, graphical, computational/empirical) to aid multiple types of learners and improve overall accessibility ; Includes new fundamental equation for alternate depths ; Discusses flow transients supported by animations and calculations ; Emphasizes applications of common and useful computational tools. Developed by an author who has been teaching open channel flow to university students for the past fifteen years, Fundamentals of Open Channel Flow provides you with a detailed explanation of the basics of open channel flow using examples and animation, and offers expert guidance on the practical application of graphical and computational tools.

Proceedings of the 2005 Watershed Management Conference, held in Williamsburg, VA, July 19-22, 2005. This collection contains 160 papers on the management of watersheds. Topics include: dam removal: case studies of specific dam removal projects and presentations of changes to sediment and channel dynamics upstream and downstream of the removed dams; decision support: computational tools to guide operational and management decisions within watersheds, cost-effective ecosystem services decisions, drought management decisions, and tools specifically designed for management of the Colorado River and the Truckee River basins; Chesapeake Bay: studies and watershed management efforts to better understand the delicate ecology of the Bay and how best to protect it, including such varied issues as wetland restoration, sediment transport, BMPs, Smart Growth, and real-time watershed surveillance in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed; Fires: the impact of fires on sediment transport, pollutant transport, and changes in flood potential; and river restoration: case studies, analysis of regional behavior, and study of both in-stream and adjacent riparian conditions.
