ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
5TH EDITION
“Outstanding coverage of practical engineering applications that is accessible
to students.”
—John W. Davies, Coventry University, UK
As hydraulics research continues to seek solutions to many pressing problems in water
and environmental management, engineers and scientists face exciting and difficult
challenges which will make the fullest demands on their skills. Now in its fifth edition,
Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering combines thorough coverage of the
Andrew Chadwick, John Morfett
basic principles of civil engineering hydraulics with wide-ranging treatment of practical,
real-world applications.
and Martin Borthwick
This classic text is carefully structured into two parts to address principles before
moving on to more advanced topics. The first part focuses on fundamentals, including
hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe and open channel flow, wave theory, physical
modelling, hydrology, and sediment transport. The second part illustrates the engineering
applications of these fundamental principles to pipeline system design; hydraulic struc-
tures; and river, canal, and coastal engineering—including up-to-date environmental
implications. A chapter on computational hydraulics demonstrates the application of
computational simulation techniques to modern design in a variety of contexts.
This fifth edition includes substantive revisions of the chapters on hydraulic machines,
flood hydrology, and computational modeling. New material has been added to the
chapters on hydrostatics, principles of fluid flow, behaviour of real fluids, open channel
flow, pressure surge in pipelines, wave theory, sediment transport, river engineering,
and coastal engineering. This edition also contains the latest recommendations regarding
climate change predictions, impacts, and adaptation measures. References have been
updated throughout.
Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Fifth Edition is an essential resource
for students and practitioners of civil, environmental, and public health engineering, and
associated disciplines. It is comprehensive, fully illustrated, and contains many worked
examples. Spreadsheets and useful links to other web pages are available on an accom-
panying website, and a solutions manual is available to lecturers.

Preface
The aim of the fifth edition of Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering remains being
to provide a comprehensive coverage of civil engineering hydraulics in all its aspects and to pro-
vide an introduction to the principles of environmentally sound hydraulic engineering practice.
To those who would be reading this book for the first time, we hope you enjoy it. You should
find sufficient material to cover most first degree courses and useful information for a higher
degree and for professional practice. The references and further reading lists are comprehensive
and point the way to further study.
The fifth edition has been extensively reviewed by a panel of ten experts drawn from across
the world. It contains much of the material from the previous editions and includes substantive
revisions of the chapters on hydraulic machines, flood hydrology and computational modelling.
New material has also been added to the chapters on hydrostatics, principles of fluid flow,
behaviour of real fluids, open channel flow, pressure surge in pipelines, wave theory, sediment
transport, river engineering and coastal engineering. The latest recommendations regarding
climate change predictions, impacts and adaptation measures have also been included. The
chapter on water quality modelling has been removed to contain the size of the book. References
have been updated throughout.
Finally, we have a website (http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415306096/)
which contains the solutions manual to the problems, some spreadsheets and links to other
websites of interest.
