Thank you, James. I’ll send these on to the instructor.

Hi Heather,
At College of the Canyons, our program in Water Systems Technology has produced Open
Textbooks for all 11 of their courses. Some of the content might be helpful for the course
you’re looking for.
You can find a list of our open textbooks at College of the Canyons
ZTC<https://www.canyons.edu/academics/onlineeducation/ztc/textbooks.php&…; scroll
down to the end until you find Water Technology. The books on the website are published as
PDFs; let me know if you’d like the Word version.

Subject: OER for Water Management Structures (Engineering)
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.
