'This is an excellent textbook for learning and teaching the fundamentals of hydraulics and their applications in the fields of civil and environmental engineering. The topics covered in the book are comprehensive. The examples of numerical calculation help undergraduate and graduate students better understand the fundamental concepts, and the problems are well designed with different levels of challenge and importance.' Ming Ye, Florida State University
