This is not one of the best books written for hydraulics. After struggling with the subject for a few months I purchased it to help me along with the hydraulics module for civil engineering. However upon recieving it I found that it did not make for easy reading and made too many assumptions and did not detail the particular study area enough. So after a few more weeks I purchased Understanding Hydraulics instead. This book makes no assumptions and also derrives each of the equations step by step.
I passed the module with full marks after studying with the publication by Les harmil.

This thorough update of a well-established textbook covers a core subject taught on every civil engineering course. Now expanded to cover environmental hydraulics and engineering hydrology, it has been revised to reflect current practice and course requirements. As previous editions, it includes substantial worked example sections with an on-line solution manual. A strength of the book has always been in its presentation these exercises which has distinguished it from other books on hydraulics, by enabling students to test their understanding of the theory and of the methods of analysis and design. Civil Engineering Hydraulics provides a succinct introduction to the theory of civil engineering hydraulics, together with a large number of worked examples and exercise problems with answers. Each chapter includes a worked example section with solutions; a list of recommended reading; and exercise problems with answers to enable students to assess their understanding. The book will be invaluable throughout a student's entire course - but particularly for first and second year study, and will also be welcomed by practising engineers as a concise reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars I've seen better
Verified PurchaseIt is not a bad book if you already mastered fluid mechanics. If you are looking for a book to reinforce your knowledge of fluid mechanics, this is for you. If you are looking for a book to review your fluid mechanics I advise buying another book. The way they explain problems in this book is vague. They don't give you a detailed explanation, not even the solutions manual! I suggest you buy another book.
