Water resources engineering
Water Resources Engineering A. K. Linsley aml J. B. Franzini McGraw-Hill.
N e w Y o r k , £7.85
Instead of concentrating on the traditional topics of water supply and wastev.rater disposal this advanced undergraduate or graduate level text offers a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of water-resources development and control. Applying basic engineering concepts to the planning and design of a variety of water projects, it shows students the factors which must be taken into consideration when solving a specific water engineering problem. In this revised edition the chapters on water supply, sewerage, and wastev.ater have been completely rewritten to reflect the latest concepts in water and wastewater purification, and the sections on hydrology extensively revised to emphasise the importance of digital computers in h.,,drology analysis. There is new material on kinematic routing, reservoir reliability, and drip irrigation, and SI units are now used throughout.
Wastewater Engineering: Treatment, Disposal and Reuse Edited by Geor,qe Tchohano,qlous McGraw-Hill,
New York, £19.20
Logically o(ganized and easily readable, this successful text covers a wide body of knowledge in the rapidly expanding field of wastewater engineering for the undergraduate or graduate student and the practicing engineer. Examining both theory and practice it encourages readers to apply fundamental principles to collecting, treatment, and disposal problems. In this new edition the fundamentals of process analysis have been grouped together in a single chapter to serve as a point of reference for the rest of the text. Sections on micro-organisms, chlorination and dechlorination, biological treatment kinetics, and wastewater disposal in water have been expanded, and there are new chapters on land treatment and treatment plant design.
Hydraulics of Groundwater Jacob Bear McGraw-Hill,
N e w Y o r k , 1980, £18.55
This book was written with two objectives in mind. First, to serve that part of the professional community entrusted with the development and management of water resources, especially where groundwater is a significant component: second, to provide a textbook for teachinglor for self+study of) this important subject as part of the education of civil engineers, agricultural engineers, and geologists. Thc book teaches hydraulics of groundwater from first principles to the complete mathematical statement of forecasting regional aquifer response to management activities, It represents an in-depth approach to thc problem, using modern tools and methodology. The basis subject --hydraulics of the flow and accumulation of water and contaminants in aquifers - - is covered within the framework and for the purpose of managemcnt. It starts therefore with the role of groundwater in management techniques, and emphasizes that no management of groundwater system is possible unless the forecasting problem can be solved in order to determine the anticipated response to the management decision.
An Analysis of the Finite Element Method Gilbert Stran9 and George Fix Prentice-Hall,
Englewood
Cliffs, £18.35
Details the finite element method - - an extremely successful technique developed by civil and aerospace engineers for the numerical solution of structural problems. Studies the connection with the established Rayleigh Ritz-Galerkin methods for approximate solution: treats eigen-value and initial-value problems in addition to static systems. Provides a sound basis for further developments of the method, including applications to different fields of engineering and physics.

Fundamental laws are presented ~erbally. mathematically, and from more than one ~iew-point. Vehenever possible, the subject is related to parallel stvdies in thermod~ namics, dynamics, and strength of materials. 10 nontrivial computer programs are contained with solution programs for 2 of the problems in the body of the text: it also contains extensive development and utilization of the term 'flux-vector'. Problems are presented in SI units, English units, and on occasion in mixed units.
Evaluation for Village Water Supply Planning S. Cairncross, I. Carruthers, D. Curtis, R. Feachem, D. Bradley aml G. Baldwin John Wiley, Chichester,
1980, S 1 9 . 2 5 / £ 7 . 0 0
The provision of safe and reliable ,,illage water supplies is rightly seen as a priority in development, and a very large part of development effort and aid is devoted to st.oh projects. This book is the first simple, practical and yet comprehensive guide to the e~aluation of village water supply projects for engineers and development field workers and for planners or administrators in aid agencies and dexelopment funding organisations. The benefits of evaluation of established water supply projects is assessed, and this process often suggests useful changes in operation and maintenance which actually improve performance. Second, the knowledge and experience of established projects can be fed back into the policy, design and implementation of new projects, and into the teaching of engineering, agriculture and rural health programmes, in a more systematic way. These and other benefits of evaluation are increasingly recognised by the major funding and development institutions, which consequently encourage the adoption of evaluation as an integral part of village water supply planning and development.
A Sourcebook of Basic Hydrologic and Ecological Features: Water Resources Regions of the Conterminous United States R. M. Cushman, S. B. Gouqh, M. S. Moran and R. B. Crai.q John Wiley, Chichester,
1980. $ 2 2 . 0 0 / £ 1 1 . 0 0
To facilitate regional-level evaluation of effects on water resources of the conterminous (Io~er 48 States} United States, each of the 18 Water Resource Regions is discussed with respect to surface and groundwater hydrology, water quality lincluding problems from point-source and diffuse pollutants), water use, and aquatic ecology. Endangered and threatened species and their critical habitats, and wild and scenic rivers are discussed and tabulated by State and Water Resource Region.
Phosphorus Management Strategies for Lakes R. C. Loehr John Wiley, Chichester,
1980, 5 4 3 . 9 5 / £ 2 2 . 0 0
This valuable book provides information on the alternative strategies that should be considered in establishing a phosphorus control program for lakes. The output of the 11 th Cornell Conference, the book provides a state-of-the-art assessment of the various phosphorus inputs to lakes, the availability of phosphorus to aquatic life, the controls that can be used for specific point and non point phosphorus sources, and the institutional aspects of implementing appropriate controls. The book contains information of the contribution of phosphorus to lakes and. streams from urban and rural sources: modeling approaches that can be used to identify the effect of phosphorus in lakes; point source controls that can be used for phosphorus including chemical and biological methods, sludge generation, operation and maintenance - - detergent substitutes for phosphorus - - nonpoint source control possibilities; institutional and economic aspects: How the Great Lakes serve as a case study of feasible phosphorus management strategies.
