Inhaltsangabe
A practical and historical guide to building and improving waterways, from early barge canals to modern ship channels. This work blends explanation of core hydraulic principles with rich case studies, showing how rivers and estuaries are managed for navigation and land reclamation.
The book surveys a wide field of waterway engineering, including how tidal forces shape river compartments, methods for measuring discharge, and the tools engineers use to improve flows, prevent floods, and expand usable land. It ties theory to practice with examples drawn from major canals and rivers, and explains the evolution of dredging, training walls, and locks.
What you’ll experience
- Clear introductions to canal and river works, including water supply, cross sections, and locks.
- Explanations of tidal propagation, backwater, and strategies to extend navigation through estuaries.
- Discussions of river compartments, hydrometric observations, and methods to measure discharge.
- Insight into land reclamation, protection, and the balance between navigation and property.
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, hardware‑level understanding of how waterways are planned, built, and managed.

The Principles and Practice of Canal and River Engineering (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a highly detailed study of canals both historic and modern, covering their history, engineering, and economic impact from the earliest times to the mid-1800s. The author, a notable civil engineer of the Victorian era, draws on decades of personal experience to provide a comprehensive view of canal engineering, describing designs for still and flowing water and how canals were used to connect rivers in Britain and across Europe, as well as examining their role in the growth of settlements and industries. Given the scale of canal networks at the time of writing, with the advent of railways only briefly touched on, this book provides a fascinating insight into the history of civil engineering and the development of transport networks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331948551_0
