Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Flow of Water in Open Channels, Pipes, Sewers, Conduits, &C: With Tables, Based on the Formulae of D'arcy, Kutter and Bazin
The former formulae, however, though admitted to be more accurate, are also, as a rule, more complicated in form, and more troublesome and tedious in their application, than most of the old formulae in use. In these days, when numerous works on Sewerage, Water Supply, Irri gation, &c., are being constructed in this country, and in fact all over the civilized world, hydraulic formulae are, perhaps, in more general use by Engineers than at any former time, and therefore, any ready method which combines frapidity With. Accuracy in the application of the new formulae will, very likely, tend to their more general use than at present.
