Sedimentation Engineering, Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 54, is a valuable reference on sedimentation engineering and management. It provides an excellent source of information about mechanics of sediment transport and applications to the solution of sedimentation engineering problems. Originally published in 1975, Manual 54 is still considered to be the textbook on sedimentation engineering. This second edition, which includes a new index written by Professor Vito 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 "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 This classic reference provides an excellent text for understanding the nature and scope of sedimentation problems, methods for their investigation, and practical approaches to their solution. The book focuses on sediment control methods for watersheds, streams, canals, and reservoirs. Originally published in 1975, this is still considered the foremost text on sedimentation engineering. This classic edition, which includes a new index, will be beneficial to hydrologists, geomorphologists, sedimentologists, land-use planners, soil conservation specialists, and environmental, hydraulic, and agricultural engineers. Contents include: Nature of Sedimentation Problems; Sediment Transportation Mechanics; Sediment Measurement Techniques; Sediment Sources and Sediment Yields; Sediment Control Methods; Economic Aspects of Sedimentation; and American Sedimentation Law and Physical Processes. -- Provided by publisher MOP 54 is an excellent text for understanding the nature and scope of sedimentation problems, methods for their investigation, and practical approaches to their solution. Sedimentation embodies the processes of erosion, entrainment, transportation, deposition, and the compaction of sediment.
