ENGINEERING HYDROLOGY-------phi

This lucidly-written book, with its diagrammatic representation and practical examples, presents a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of engineering hydrology in the areas of elements of hydrological cycle, abstraction losses, streamflow measurement, runoff, hydrology statistics, flood frequency analysis and groundwater flow.

Throughout the book, the text emphasises problem-solving in which students are encouraged to apply their conceptual understanding in order to solve practical problems.

This book is primarily intended for the undergraduate students of civil engineering and agricultural engineering.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BOOK Strong in its pedagogy, the text incorporates
Ample worked-out numericals
Several objective type questions of previous years’ GATE/IES examination, along with their answers and hints
Solved IES conventional questions of previous years
Numerous theoretical questions
A lot of unsolved problems and references for further study
Besides, the book is supplemented with Solutions Manual containing complete detailed solutions to the unsolved problems of each chapter.
