Full Description
Applied Hydrology and Green Infrastructure Systems delves into the fundamentals of water resources management, combining theoretical insight with practical applications. Water resources are under increased stress due to the frequency of droughts and extreme weather. With that in mind, this textbook captures the latest developments in green infrastructure and offers the skills that are necessary to interpret and solve complex hydrology and hydraulics problems. Integrating traditional hydrologic principles with cutting-edge green infrastructural solutions, it provides a foundation into groundwater dynamics, hydrological processes, and sustainable sewer design. It paves the way for understanding the importance of environmentally conscious practices in water resource management.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One offers a deep exploration of groundwater dynamics and describes saturated and unsaturated flow principles. It then explores steady-state and transient well hydraulics, the graphical analysis of flow patterns using flow nets, and strategies for ensuring sustainable groundwater availability. Part Two largely focuses on hydrology, diving into surface runoff processes, the role of unit hydrographs, and the application of NRCS (SCS) unit hydrograph methodology. Probability and statistics in hydrology are introduced followed by an examination of hydrologic frequency analysis. Lastly, Part Three describes sewer design, green infrastructure, and water transmission. The principles of sewer system design with an emphasis on sustainability and the integration of green infrastructure are discussed in this section.
Applied Hydrology and Green Infrastructure Systems is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduate students in environmental sciences studying engineering hydrology, hydrology and/or hydraulics and hydrology. It is also useful for engineers, urban planners, and consultants who are looking for practical guidance to incorporate green infrastructure into urban design and development. This textbook contains case studies, self-assessments, spreadsheet shells, and a solutions manual as additional resources for students and instructors.
