Full Description

The scientific management of water resources requires an understanding of hydraulic and hydrologic processes. The need to understand and predict the impact of pollutant discharges or engineering works on the water environment has provided an impetus to the development of hydraulics in the past three decades. In recent years, environmental hydraulic problems have been assuming increasing importance in many Southeast Asian countries and cities, including China and Hong Kong. Volume 1 of a two-volume set, comprises the Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics & the 14th Congress of Asia and Pacific Division, International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research held in December 2004 in Hong Kong. Volume 1 covers the selected papers presented at the 4th International Symposium, while Volume 2 features the advances outlined in papers from the 14th IAHR-APD Congress. Both volumes will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in sustainable water management and environmental science.

Contents

The Proceedings contains a collection of keynote and invited lectures, together with contributions selected for presentation at the Symposium. The contributions summarize recent advances and practical applications in themes that include: Mixing of wastewater effluent discharges; sea outfall design; hydrodynamic and water quality modelling; envi­ronmental management; flood hydraulics and hydrology: hydraulics of wastewater collec­tion and treatment systems. In addition to basic research findings, many examples of application of hydraulic and numerical modelling to environmental problems can be found. The contributions reflect the robust environmental hydraulic research activity worldwide in recent years, especially in the Asian Pacific region.
