 This manual is intended to supplement Sedimentation Engineering: Classic Edition (ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice No. 54), an seminal text on the nature and scope of sedimentation problems, methods for their investigation, and practical approaches to their solution. It updates selected topics in the original manual and addresses new topics, such as the hydraulic action of flowing water in the context of rivers and inland water bodies.
