Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics,
and Stormwater Quality offers a unique, integrated engineering approach to
controlling and managing the water resources of cities and urban communities. By
addressing hydrologic analysis in the urban environment, using physically based
methods, and focusing on stormwater quality, this interdisciplinary approach
presents all aspects of urban hydrology more closely aligned to real-world
practice than traditional hydrology books.
With an emphasis on application, this cutting-edge guide thoroughly covers
urban watershed management, urban drainage system design, and stormwater quality
management, complete with logic-driven questions reinforcing the fundamental,
qualitative, quantitative, and extended application concepts discussed in each
chapter. Relying heavily on numerical techniques addressed throughout the book,
two of the most widely used computer modeling programs in the industry are
presented:
The Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS model
The Environmental Protection Agency SWMM model
Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater Quality is a great textbook for
students in civil and environmental engineering, as well as a handy resource for
professional civil engineers, hydrologists, urban planners, and environmental
engineers. 392 pp.
