The study of underground hydraulics is complex and the 3-D geometry of a groundwater body is difficult to envisage. This text provides water well operators with the necessary basic information for managing groundwater resources, and fosters understanding of hydrogeological mechanisms in time and space.

Dam Hydraulics D. L. Vischer W. H. Hager VAW, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland This book develops the main themes of water flow in dam structures, emphasizing the hydraulic principles governing the design, construction and refurbishment of dams. Opening with an overview of the various dam structures, it then develops fundamental topics including: reservoir sedimentation, waves due to landslides and dambreak waves. The authors provide a systematic analysis of the various phenomena associated with dam hydraulics, illustrated with appropriate figures and photographs of laboratory models and prototype...
