This comprehensive textbook, now in its sixth edition, seamlessly blends a thorough exploration of the fundamental principles of civil engineering hydraulics with a comprehensive treatment of practical, real-world applications. It has been updated to include a robust online resource featuring worked solutions for chapter problems and solution spreadsheets for more intricate problems, serving as valuable templates for similar challenges.

Hydraulics in Civil and Environmental Engineering is organized into two parts to address principles and more advanced topics. The first part focuses on foundational concepts, including hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe and open channel flow, wave theory, physical modeling, hydrology, and sediment transport. The second part showcases engineering applications of these principles to pipeline system design, hydraulic structures, river and coastal engineering, encompassing up-to-date environmental considerations, as well as a chapter on computational modeling, illustrating the application of computational simulation techniques to modern design across various contexts.

To enhance the learning experience, new material and additional problems for solution have been introduced to the chapters on hydrostatics, pipe flow, and dimensional analysis. The hydrology chapter has been revised to reflect the latest UK flood estimation methods, data, and software. The recommendations regarding the assessment of uncertainty, climate change predictions, impacts, and adaptation measures have been updated, as have the guidelines on the application of computational simulation techniques to river flood modeling.

Andrew Chadwick holds the honorary position of professor of coastal engineering and previously served as the associate director of the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth, UK. John Morfett was the head of hydraulics research and taught at the University of Brighton, UK. Martin Borthwic is a senior lecturer in hydraulics and fluid mechanics at the University of Sheffield, UK.
