Wiley Natural Resources Engineering - Soil and Water Text

Natural Resources Engineering by Wiley provides a comprehensive look at the physics and engineering principles required for soil and water-quality preservation. This text serves as both a practical guide and a reference for professionals and students working in environmental and civil engineering fields. The book offers a quantitative overview of the hydrologic cycle and addresses critical topics such as upland erosion and water quality. Readers can find detailed information on stream channel design, the hydraulics of common management structures, and the management of ponds and embankments. By building on traditional agricultural engineering foundations, this resource covers essential subjects including drainage, irrigation, and issues related to stream and lake quality. It is designed to provide a wide range of topics that are at the forefront of natural resources engineering today.
