Good morning.

I have an instructor looking to replace the current lab manual for her Water Management Structures course in the College of Engineering. The course has been using a book that was written by an instructor in the department who retired almost 30 years ago. The students currently pay $65 for it.

Below are the learning outcomes. If anyone has a text or some resources that might do the trick, please let me know.

As a result of taking this course, the student should:

Have a basic understanding of the principles applicable to the design of hydraulic structures;
Be able to apply the three basic equations governing fluid flow (continuity, energy and momentum equations) and other fluid flow principles to hydraulic structure design;
Understand the uses, applications and analysis procedures of various types of hydraulic structure, including dams and spillways, and irrigation, drainage and related structures;
Be able to prepare detailed design notes that are neat, complete, and properly referenced;
Be familiar with the materials that may be used in the design and construction of hydraulic structures;
Develop an understanding of various aspects of water resources engineering, particularly with respect to water control;
Be aware of the use and application of physical hydraulic models in the development of hydraulic structure design criteria; and
Have an understanding of dam safety and other aspects of safety associated with hydraulic structures as well of environmental regulations pertaining to work in waterbodies.
