This textbook deals a radical research of rivers from upland components to oceans. It scrutinizes opt for tools underlining either thought and engineering purposes, emphasizing the mechanics of flood wave propagation and sediment delivery in rivers. The textual content covers basic ideas, engineering research, and engineering layout, with difficulties, examples, and case experiences all through. Channel balance and river dynamics are tested by way of river morphology, lateral migration, aggradation, and degradation. precise remedies of riverbank stabilization and engineering equipment are supplied, whereas separate chapters hide actual and mathematical types. This crucial textual content offers either the speculation and layout of measures to minimize flood effect and financial institution erosion, to enhance navigation, and to extend water provide to towns and irrigation canals. Over a hundred workouts and approximately twenty case experiences make this booklet a useful studying device for college students, and researchers and practitioners will locate it a concise source at the mechanics of rivers.
