2.		Water Resources Engineering from Wiley Price: $47.30 Customer Review: One of my coworkers had this book, I kept using it as a reference so I eventually bought my own copy. It is an outstanding textbook and an important reference book to have on hand. I highly recommned it. It is far better than the "Hydraulic Engineering" textbook I had in college.

5.	[no image]	Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems from Prentice Hall Price: $112.41 Customer Review: This is a great deal for a textbook.

6.		Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $144.88 Customer Review: If you are an engineer who works in the wastewater field, you need this book... and probably already have it.

7.		Schaum's Outline of Fluid Dynamics (Schaum's) from McGraw-Hill Price: $9.00 Customer Review: I have this book first edition; this third edition is not much different from the first one. No CFD, no computer applications and almost the same subjects of 30 years ago. The chapters about MHD, non-newtonian flows and hyper-sonic flows are all but too short; they are almost useless. There is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Earth Ponds A to Z: An Illustrated Encyclopedia from Countryman Press Price: $11.09 Customer Review: The book was fine. The shipping was terrible. USPS took 3 weeks to deliver after it was shipped.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.		Arc Hydro: GIS for Water Resources from Esri Press Price: $37.77 Customer Review: My instructor couldn't really help me with what I wanted to do with my project. I started with needing to find a tool to analyze storm water run-off. I found this software, went out to ESRI's website, downloaded ArcHydro, and installed it. ESRI's site had tutorials on how to use the various tools... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Water and Wastewater Calculations Manual, 2nd Ed. from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $72.81 Customer Review: I am completely satisfied with this purchase, as it is sufficiently detailed to be of immediate use, but not so theoretical as to lose a reader who is new to the subject. The book covers industry practice as well as theory, and the mathematics presented are thoroughly developed. Many books of this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Open-Channel Hydraulics from McGraw-Hill Companies Price: $220.00 Customer Review: This is not a book for novices of fluid mechanics. The example problems are very vague on the applications of the theorems introduced in the book. I found this to be more of a reference handbook for experienced individuals.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Parting the Desert: The Creation of the Suez Canal from Knopf Price: $10.90 Customer Review: Boring take on what sounded like it would have been an interesting subject. Mostly about the byzantine wanderings of Lessep, the Canal's driving force, through the politics and marketing of the canal, with pedestrian writing. Brings to mind Steve Martin's line from Planes Trains and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Hydrologic Analysis and Design (3rd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $110.99 Customer Review: This books is hard to read because of the extensive and monotonous writing in addition to lacking variety of examples.

21.		Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures, Third Edition from CRC Press Price: $94.46 Customer Review: At more than 800 pages, this is a hefty and detailed book on construction of marine and offshore structures. The author, Ben Gerwick, is a leading authority on the subject, with decades of industry experience, so the orientation of the book is practical rather than academic. While the focus is on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Above Ground Storage Tanks from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $87.40 Customer Review: As a mechanical engineer designing refineries, I needed suffiecient information on tanks that was unknown to me, and this book had it all.

24.		Introduction To Hydraulics & Hydrology from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $91.21 Customer Review: This was recommended to me to help prepare for a PLS exam. Maybe this is easy to follow if you have a civil engineering background (although if that were the case, I'm not sure why you'd be interested in an "Introduction" to this subject), but the author makes numerous apparent leaps and assumptions... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Water Wave Mechanics for Engineers and Scientists (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering, Vol. 2) (v. 2) from World Scientific Publishing Company Customer Review: When I was in college studying structural engineering, one of my professors told the class: "The trouble with you students is, you don't know what you don't know". This book is a perfect illustration that, I "didn't know what I didn't know" much about water waves. This subject is very... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Treatment Wetlands, Second Edition from CRC Press Price: $108.76 Customer Review: Salve mi chiamo Rosario e ho acquistato Treatment Wetlands per una ricerca sui sistemi di fitodepurazione.

27.		Handbook of Hydraulics from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $72.33 Customer Review: I've been borrowing this book from other engineers now for 30 years.

30.		Water and Wastewater Treatment: A Guide for the Nonengineering Professionals from CRC Press Price: $70.36 Customer Review: I found this text useful as a mnemonic, a memory tool. There are useful explanations of conventional tools for treating wastewater and water. You won't find many useful graphics but it is a book for the non-professionals. Personally, I find such textbooks useful because of the varied business of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
