Analysis of open-channel flow is needed for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis as well as made it possible to handle complex systems. This book presents modern computational procedures for such analyses and other necessary up-to-date information on calculating open-channel flow.
