  abstract: Annotation Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering, this new fourth edition is again thoroughly revised. It accommodates recent developments in remote sensing, information technology and GIS technology. New added material deals with flood management due to Tsunami waves, flooding due to dam failure and breaking of embankments, application of dredging technologies, problems of flood forecasting, flood plain prioritization and flood hazard zoning, and engineering measures for flood control. Drainage improvement is tackled, with particular regard to salinity and coastal aquifer management from the ingress of sea water. The book includes design problem-solving and case studies, making it practical and applications-oriented. The subject matter will be of considerable interest to civil engineers, agricultural engineers, architects and town planners, as well as other government and non-government organizations.
  table of contents: Flood problems -- Estimation of design flood -- Flood routing through reservoirs and channels -- Design of spillways -- Flood mitigation through planning of reservoir capacities and operation of reservoirs -- Flood mitigation through river protection and improvement works -- Flood forecasting, warning and flood fighting -- Economics of flood control, project -- Design of subsurface drainage system -- Design of surface drainage system -- Water-logging and salinity -- Application of remote sensing technology for flood control -- Flood plain delineation and flood hazard assessment -- Flood damage management : tsunamis and storm surges -- Flooding due to collapse of dams : breaching of flood levees and urban coastal areas.
