This textbook offers a thorough analysis of rivers from upland areas to oceans. Julien scrutinizes select methods underlining both theory and engineering applications, emphasizing the mechanics of flood wave propagation and sediment transport in rivers. Chapters provide detailed treatments of riverbank stabilization and engineering methods and cover physical and mathematical models. Together, they elucidate measures to reduce flood impact and bank erosion, improve navigation, and increase water supply to cities and irrigation canals. More than 100 exercises and nearly twenty case studies make this book an invaluable learning tool for students. Hardback ISBN (2002): 0-521-56284-8
Download Description:
This textbook offers a thorough analysis of rivers from upland areas to oceans. It scrutinizes select methods underlining both theory and engineering applications, emphasizing the mechanics of flood wave propagation and sediment transport in rivers. The text covers fundamental principles, engineering analysis, and engineering design, with problems, examples, and case studies throughout. Channel stability and river dynamics are examined in terms of river morphology, lateral migration, aggradation, and degradation. Detailed treatments of riverbank stabilization and engineering methods are provided, while separate chapters cover physical and mathematical models. This essential text presents both the theory and design of measures to reduce flood impact and bank erosion, to improve navigation, and to increase water supply to cities and irrigation canals. Over 100 exercises and nearly twenty case studies make this book an invaluable learning tool for students, and researchers and practitioners will find it a concise resource on the mechanics of rivers.
Review:
Exciting stuff!
Forget about stories of the Nile, spies and lurid sex. This book is really exciting! Imagine, learning about sediment deposition trends, velocities, and mobility. A nicely written book for the lawyer or forensic witness that needs to work on a river matter, particularly a contamination case.
A good beginner book in this area. Try it, if you need it.

A Very good book which gives the physics of rivers and the dynamics of river flow, very many examples are provided
in the text. Real life calculations are also there. Highly Interdisciplinary branch of Science , Dedicated to the great
scientist Homi Bhabha who had a passion for rivers and its dynamics throughout his life.
