Raw and treated liquid waste is routinely disposed of in nearby bodies of water. The disposal method can be as important as the treatment process with regard to maintaining a healthy water quality. Improper liquid waste management can result in an excess of nutrients, heavy metals and toxic organics which can have serious effects on human health. Low levels of dissolved oxygen caused by the oxidation of ammonia and the decay of algae can compromise the suitability of deeper waters as a fish habi...

This volume provides a forum for the advancement of scientific knowledge and engineering practice areas related to hydraulics and hydrology. Among the broad range of issues discussed are exclusive economic zone hydraulics, hydraulic data acquisition and display and innovative hydraulic structures. Other topics include hydraulic and hydraulic extremes, designing stable channels, and highway drainage.

The basics, present status and future prospects of high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) are described in the form of a textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. This volume covers recent achievements in the field of STEM obtained with advanced technologies such as spherical aberration correction, monochromator, high-sensitivity electron energy loss spectroscopy and the software of image mapping. The future prospects chapter also deals with z-slice im...

In some important respects floodplain management and flood hazard research is different in Britain from that in other countries. This collection of papers from a conference provides some comparisons. It covers urban flooding, institutions and policy, land use policy, hazard response, and project appraisal and risk assessment.

This text brings together the use of economics, operations research, probability and statistics with the use of hydrology, hydraulics and water resources for the analysis, design, operation and management of various types of water projects. The text is divided into three parts: Principles, Water Supply Engineering and Management, and Water Excess Engineering and Management.

This text on intermediate fluids is aimed at the civil, agricultural and oceanography markets. It gives a grounding in fluid mechanics, including systematic and parallel development of the equations of fluid mechanics in integral and differential form. There is also extensive coverage of free surface flow. The book's applications are directed at shallow-water hydraulics, oceanography and wave mechanics, circulation in large bodies of water and transport. Examples, problems and historical notes a...
