Technology Advisory. Broup (TAG) Technical Notes Produced by the World Bank
This book is divided into four sections, the first of which deals with the meteorological aspects of urban hydrology. A review of the changes in micro-climate caused by urbanization is followed by a discussion of the rainfall data required for drainage design purposes. The second section on flood estimation opens with a chapter on principles and continues with review of statistical and deterministic approaches and methods of flood routing. Section 3 on the hydrological problems of urban areas is devoted to methods for describing the changing flow regime of catchments subjected to urbanization and a review of methods for the design of urban sewerage systems. The final section treats the water quality problems of urban areas, including the modelling of stormwater pollutant loadings and receiving water quality and concludes with a chapter on stormwater management. Available from Elsevier Applied Science Publishers, Barking, Essex IGll 0SA, England. ISBN 0 85334 268 7. xi + 285 pp. Price: £28.00
Manual of Surface Drainage Engineering Volume II: Stream Flow Engineering and Flood Protection
This series of informal technical papers, prepared by the Technology Advisory Group, are published informally by the World Bank as a joint contribution with the United Nations Development Programme to the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. The papers were ori~nally prepared as internal discussion documents and the views and interpretations in them are those of the author(sl only. Technical Note No. 1 (1983) "Methods for gathering socio-cultural data for water supply and sanitation projects", by Mayling Simpson-Hebert; Technical Note No. 3 (1983) "The ventilated improved double-pit latrine: a construction manual for Botswana", John van Nostrand and James G. Wilson: Technica! Note No. 4 (1983) "Pit latrine ventilation: field investigation methodology", Beverley A. Ryan and D. Duncan Mara; Technical Note No. 5 (1983)
By B, Z. K~NORt and J. MEV'ORACH Following the publication of the first volume of this manual in 1970, which covered the general aspects of open-channel hydraulics and related flow problems, the publishers have brought out a second volume incorporating the most important aspects of surface drainage engineering. The longest of its eleven chapters is on flood protection techniques, with both discussion and review of the many facets of this branch of hydraulic engineering. Special attention has been given to the treatment of flows in ephemeral streams of arid and semi-arid regions, with which the authors have been thoroughly acquainted during many years. Throughout the book numerous worked examples accompany the text in order to stress the methods which lead to acceptable solutions of the problems, and a large number of graphs and sketches are included to clarify further the exposition.
