Summary:
Your one-stop answer guide to hydraulics engineering and design. Turn to Handbook of Hydraulics, Seventh Edition, for the tables, formulas, computer applications, and other resources you need to design and engineer virtually any hydraulic system. Bringing Ernest F. Brater and Horace W. King's last edition into the 21st century, James E. Lindell and C.Y. Wei have revised and updated this unmatched advisor--coverting all constants to metric units--to give you powerful solutions governing: Viscosity, surface tension, and elasticity; fluid pressures and hydraulic forces; laminar, turbulent, steady, and unsteady flows; oscillatory, breaking, and wind-generated waves plus shore erosion control' flow through orifice gates, tubes, weirs, and pipes; uniform and nonuniform flow in open channels; high-velocity transitions through straight-walled, enlargement, and curved-wall constrictions; unsteady open channel and spatially variable flow; flow measurement with meters, pilot tubes, venture flumes, and other devices; computer-based numerical methods; much more.

WARNING: METRIC EDITION!
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
So, yes, there are other reviews with this warning. But, I did not check them before purchasing. Duh.

But, this book is ENTIRELY METRIC. Not helpful for most of us who learned hydraulics in English units. Found the 6th edition at a library and it is in English units.

Otherwise, if this were not in Metric, it's a great text. Just beware.

This book did not help me at all! It is in metric, no English units are provided in the book. All of the equations are worthless to me!

This book is all metric - worthless
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
We use english units in my state. This book is all metric. They could have at least had both metric and english in the book. I sent mine back, as it is worthless to me.

This book was a classic, but why does it have to be metric? I guess converting it gave the academics something to do. Here is a news flash for the publisher: Civil Engineers praticing in the US don't use the metric system. Even our state DOT has given up on converting. I wish that the 6th edition was still available. Its just about useless now.

Great reference
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
If you need a reference manual, this has everything. Although, most people need text books for problem solving, whether they be a student or a professional. This book some how managed to completely avoid sample problems. I returned it.
