From the Publisher:

The book is a useful addition to any consulting engineer's library, as well as a practical textbook on the fundamentals of open channel flow.
Each chapter contains worked-out example problems to aid in the understanding of the text material. Where possible, solutions are given in dimensionless form in graphs to promote an intuitive feel of the physics of the problem.
At the end of each chapter, exercises are presented which involve application of the material previously learned, as well as student exploration of further ramifications of the text material.
