N2  - Written for the undergraduate level, this book, divided into three parts, blends fluid mechanics, hydraulic science, and hydraulics engineering. It draws upon fluid mechanics and summarizes the concepts deemed essential to the teaching of hydraulics. It also discusses the science of hydraulics, and looks at the engineering practice of hydraulics
