About this book

Water-Power: An Outline of the Development and Application of the Energy of Flowing Water, by Joseph Palmer Frizell, presents a comprehensive overview of harnessing the energy of flowing water. Originally published in 1900, this seminal work explores the principles and practices of water-power engineering. Frizell delves into the historical development of water-power technologies, examining various methods for utilizing water's energy, from simple waterwheels to more complex hydraulic systems. The book covers essential topics such as the measurement of water flow, the design of dams and canals, and the construction of hydraulic machinery. With detailed explanations and diagrams, Frizell's treatise remains a valuable resource for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of sustainable energy solutions.

Indus River Basin
<p><i>Indus River Basin: Water Security and Sustainability</i> provides a comprehensive treatment of water-related issues within the Indus River basin. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, hence this book serves as a single, holistic source covering the whole region, not just a single country. Many of the challenges faced by this region are trans-boundary issues, especially within the context of climate change and water scarcity. Topics covered include extreme engineering and water resource management (one of the largest irrigation systems in dry to semi-desert conditions), social sciences (population dynamics linked to water resources) and political sciences.</p> <p>As such, this book is relevant and important to all researchers interested in these issues.</p><br>Sadiq Khan is an associate scientist at University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) based at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, National Water Center (NWC). Prior to joining the NWC, he was a research scientist in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science at the University of Oklahoma (OU). Dr. Khan received his Ph.D in 2011 from OU, where he was the recipient of NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship. He was selected for an outstanding student paper award for the research work he presented at American Geophysical Union Fall 2009 Meeting in San Francisco, CA. Dr. Khan's main research interests include; 1) multi-source data fusion in hydrology, particularly optical and microwave remote sensing for water resource monitoring; 2) numerical and geospatial modelling to estimate hydrologic variables and therefore better predict water extremes.<br>Thomas E.
