Abstract
THIS is the re-issue of a textbook which was first published about eight years ago, and is based on a series of articles which originally appeared in the columns of Engineering. It is a conveniently sized manual affording a good general survey of the subject in twelve chapters, which deal in turn with sources of water supply, measurement and variations of rainfall, evaporation, soil permeability, ground water and springs, run-off or surface yield, storage, floods and wells.
Hydrology and Ground Water: a Practical Text-Book for the use of Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Students, and all those who deal with the Control of Water.
By J. M. Lacey. Pp. viii + 159. (London: The Technical Press, Ltd., 1934.) 10s. 6d.
