An introductory guide to flood-control analysis

J. Paul Guyer’s technical guide organizes flood-control engineering around the steps used to assess water movement, from rainfall and snowfall analysis through infiltration and runoff. It also covers subsurface runoff, streamflow frequency analysis, and the routing of streamflow and reservoirs. The listed topics give the book a practical scope within civil engineering, connecting precipitation analysis with the movement of water through catchments and storage systems. Published in 2017, it is framed as introductory guidance for professional engineers and flood-control managers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Civil engineers seeking an introductory reference on flood-control analysis.
  • Professional engineers and flood-control managers interested in precipitation, runoff, streamflow, and reservoir topics.
