The purpose of this book is to introduce the major topics of water resources planning in one volume. It was designed
primarily as a university text but should also be of interest to practicing engineers, planners, environmentalists, and administrators. Comprehensiveness and breadth are emphasized, with footnotes and bibliographies provided for the reader desiring more depth. Numerous examples introduce and reinforce material in the text, and the collection of selected problems at the end of each chapter is designed to simulate planning studies. This book assumes readers have a knowledge of elementary
hydrology and mathematics -- primarily algebra. |
