Editorial Review:
This book systematically covers underlying principles of hydrology in chapters 1 - 10 and then delves deeper into the application of these principles to practical problems in the field throughout the remainder of the prose. Covers all aspects of the hydrologic cycle, and the manner in which they may be modified to deal with floods, droughts, potable water supply and urban drainage. For anyone who expect to become involved in programs that are concerned with the development, management and protection of water resources.

A good place to start  2008-12-10
I suppose it would be nice if all engineering texts were as easy to read as the popular novel of the day. Unfortunately, assuming you are a water resource engineer like me, we wade through a topic which is not easily written.
I first used this book during my Masters Degree program. The instructor was not as helpful as I would have liked, but since all of the lectures, homework and tests were pulled from the book, I decided to stop listening and start reading. With a bit of patience, trying to acclimate to the authors' presentation style, I found the book to be helpful.
The description and calculation of Unit-hydrographs, hydrographs and moving between the two was very helpful. Either during, or shortly after taking this course I took the Professional Engineers licensing exam and, to my success, used this book on a couple of questions related to the unit-hydrograph method.
Overall the book deserves 4 stars for being a good place to start. It lacks the final fifth star because it does get a little confusing as the authors attempt to explain many more competing approaches than they should have. There were also a couple of errors in the calculations used as examples, which had me scratching my head for a while. The good thing is that the description of the methods shown in the examples was correct, so whoever created the examples did not follow the direction properly a couple of times.
I recommend this book for anyone trying to study for the P.E. exam, or as a desk reference at work when you want to know what your hydrology software is doing.

This book is a VERY difficult read. Not only do you need to try and understand the concepts of hydrology but you must also attempt to navigate your way through a confusing maze of "wording" that could easily have been more understandable.
