Water Engineering

Our objective in this book and in subsequent volumes of the Uniscience Series on Water Pollution Control Technology, is to provide a reference manual for design engineers, planners, and managers in industry and government. This is particularly important in the present critical period for implementat..

Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering, this new fourth edition is again thoroughly revised. It accommodates recent developments in remote sensing, information technology and GIS technology. New additional material de..

This work examines the use of advance warning models to predict flooding and flood damage. Specifically, it includes an examination of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) rainfall-runoff model, its suitability, uses and limitations...

Flood Hazard Management: British and International Perspectives..

First Published in 2011. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company...

Urban flood models are usually built on much coarser resolutions due to computational demand of models with high resolution topographic data. As a result surface flow models with a lower resolution more likely produce inaccurate flood simulation results than high resolution surface flow models. The ..

The growing demands of growing populations are causing increased water scarcity all over the world. Countries with limited water resources are urgently in need of a new approach toward water management by shifting from the "use and dispose" approach to the "use, treat, and reuse" approach. The book ..

Proposes a framework for the sustainable management of scarce water resources. This book focuses on the West Bank in Palestine, which suffers from extreme water scarcity, that has (for political reasons) less water than is naturally available, and anticipates an increase in demand for water for reas..

The hydrological sciences typically present grey or fuzzy information, making them a choice challenge for fuzzy logic application. An authoritative resource on fuzzy logic modeling as it relates to water science, the author takes an approach that incorporates verbal expert views and other parameters..

Because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. Hence, the green argument for conservation through renewable systems is somewhat of a contradiction. Written by an international journalist with ..

This comprehensive text describes the chemical, physical, and microbial properties of greywater. It covers the treatment and removal of greywater pollutants, providing case studies of common methods. It also identifies the risks involved and proposes regulatory measures to help reduce these risks, r..

This book discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods for defining, preventing, controlling, and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater. It highlights specific issues such as trans-boundary groundwater flow, groundwater recharge, gr..
