Résumé

With a remarkable range and depth of coverage, Professor Mays ; internationally recognised for his highly acclaimed textbooks and work in the field ; presents a straight forward, easy to understand presentation of hydraulic and hydrologic processes using the control volume approach These processes are then extended into practical applications for water use and water excess, including water distribution systems, stormwater control, and flood storage systems

Water Resources Engineering is a textbook that can be used for the first undergraduate courses in hydraulics, hydrology, or water resources engineering and for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in water resources engineering design This text is also intended as a reference for practicing hydraulic engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, environmental engineers, and hydrologists

L'auteur - Larry W. Mays

Larry W. Mays is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University and former chair of the department. He was formerly Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources at The University of Texas at Austin, where he also held an Engineering Foundation Endowed Professorship. A registered professional engineer in seven states and a registered professional hydrologist, he has served as a consultant to many organizations. He was the editor-in-chief of Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems (ASCE) and co-editor of Computer Modeling of Free Surface and Pressurized Flows. Among his honors include a distinguished alumnus award from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1999.
