Item Hydraulic Structures(Saskatoon: Smith, 1995) Smith, C.D.This book presents general information on the form and function of many types of hydraulic structures and to give detailed theory and design procedures on some of the more common ones. The application of principles is intended to be sufficiently rigorous that a student of the subject will gain a working knowledge of the basic procedures used in hydraulic design. While, of necessity, certain design procedures are empirical, this book is not concerned with the "how" aspect of hydraulic design alone. Equal emphasis is placed on the "why" aspect, since it is only through this approach that the engineer can properly assess the merits of a proposed design for a specific application.
