Water Science and Engineering is an introductory text that cuts across various disciplines to provide an
integrated view of the fundamental concepts of water. The book emphasizes water's properties and behavior as well as the natural global processes related to water (hydrologic cycle). It covers a wide range of issues including water's molecular structure, speculation on the origin of the World Ocean, fluid mechanics, water's role in the evolution of life and many other concepts and theories. Discussions on groundwater hydrology aid the reader in understanding environmental concerns.
Significant attention in the book is paid to the practical application of knowledge on water. Throughout the text, theories and concepts are explained in language suitable for non-specialists. Plus, numerous, original illustrations by the author help visualize various concepts within the book. | |
