Soil and Water Conservation Engineering

Combines engineering practices for the solution of erosion and flood control, drainage and irrigational problems. Sufficient hydrologic information--precipitation, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration and runoff--is given as background for design problems discussed later. Makes readers aware that the environment must be considered in the design of soil and water facilities. Features many example problems, with detailed solutions, to facilitate learning.Schwab, Glenn O. is the author of 'Soil and Water Conservation Engineering' with ISBN 9780471030782 and ISBN 0471030783.
