Mechanics of sediment transportation and alluvial stream problems

by R.J. Garde, K. G. Ranga Raju

The third edition of this book recognises two important developments that have taken place in recent years. (1) Mathematical modelling of alluvial river processes, and (2) environmental aspects relating to sedimentation. Both of these factors have been duly considered in this edition. With its detailed analysis and clear presentation, this book would be extremely useful for practising civil engineers. It would also serve as an authoritative reference source for graduate and senior undergraduate civil engineering students.
