Second edition
by Larry W. Mays
Water Resources Engineering second edition now provides the most up-to-date information on the principles and practice of water resources engineering, along with a remarkable range and depth of coverage.
New in the Second edition:
- Two new chapters have been added that explore water resources sustainability and water resources management for sustainability
- New and updated graphics have also been integrated throughout the chapters to reinforce important concepts
- Additional end-of-chapter questions have been added as well to build understanding. Environmental engineers will refer to this book throughout their careers
