Natural Resources Engineering
Natural resource engineering is the design of planned activities that compliment or oppose natural or societal forces and leads to modifications in soils, water, biota and/or the air. Natural resource engineers prevent and solve problems stemming from manipulation of the elements native to the earth. This book integrates environmental and water quality issues. It surveys hydrology in general with focus on surface water management. Topics covered include water quality, erosion, open channel...

Natural resource engineering is the design of planned activities that compliment or oppose natural or societal forces and leads to modifications in soils, water, biota and/or the air. Natural resource engineers prevent and solve problems stemming from manipulation of the elements native to the earth. This book integrates environmental and water quality issues. It surveys hydrology in general with focus on surface water management. Topics covered include water quality, erosion, open channel flow, structures, embankments, irrigation and drainage, wind erosion and odors. Booknews This undergraduate textbook examines the design of planned land development activities that may affect the natural soil and water resources. Tollner (agricultural engineering, University of Georgia) outlines the hydrologic cycle and problems caused by erosion, and identifies the function of vegetated waterways, terraces, diversions, impoundments, embankments, and drainage and irrigation systems.
