Sedimentation engineering
"Sedimentation Engineering, Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 54, is concerned mainly with sediment problems involved in the development, use, conservation, and management of water and land resources. Originally published in 1975, Manual 54 is still considered the textbook on sedimentation engineering. It treats sedimentation in a broad perspective, considering the interrelated processes of erosion, sediment transportation by water and air, and sediment deposition where it creates …

Summary
"Sedimentation Engineering, Manual and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 54, is concerned mainly with sediment problems involved in the development, use, conservation, and management of water and land resources. Originally published in 1975, Manual 54 is still considered the textbook on sedimentation engineering. It treats sedimentation in a broad perspective, considering the interrelated processes of erosion, sediment transportation by water and air, and sediment deposition where it creates problems of practical importance." "This reissue of the original edition, with an improved, easier to read format, redrawn and relabeled figures, and a new index written by Professor Vito A. Vanoni, is also the progenitor of its companion Manual 110, Sedimentation Engineering: Theory, Measurements, Modeling and Practice. Manual 54, along with companion Manual 110, will be beneficial to hydrologists, geomorphologists, sedimentologists, land-use planners, soil conservation specialists, and environmental, hydraulic, and agricultural engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
