'This book should definitely find its place in all libraries concerned with hydraulics, hydroinformatics and modelling. It certainly should be available in their respective institutions to all engineers who are involved in modelling or are using results of models. And it should be advised as essential reading to students at postgraduate level in hydraulics and hydroinformatics.' —Jean A. Cunge, Journal of Hydroinformatics'The book is not only an invaluable guide for students but addresses all researchers and practitioners working in the field of water resources. Because of this it should find its place not only in the libraries of research institutes and universities, but also should be of interest and available to all concerned with the design and construction of all hydraulic structures.'—Vodni Hospodarstvi (Water Management, in Czech) 'The authors have written an outstanding and timely work.'—Willi H. Hager and Michael Pfister, Journal of Hydraulic Research'A must-have for every hydraulics engineer who looks to the future of their profession.'—Corado Gissoni, L'Acqua
