URBAN HYDROLOGY, HYDRAULICS, AND STORMWATER QUALITY - ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS AND COMPUTER MODELING

Placing a greater emphasis on problems found in urban setting and on numerical methods and computer models in lieu of desktop methods and empirical models, Akan (civil and environmental engineering, Old Dominion U.) and Houghtalen (civil engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) see this volume as an appropriate replacement for traditional textbooks introducing engineering students to hydrology. In addition to standard topics of hydrology, they also explore aspects of hydraulics and stormwater quality management.
