Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around recommendations for hydrology textbooks suitable for civil engineering students, with a focus on applied content at the undergraduate level.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks recommendations for hydrology books that are applicable to civil engineering at the undergraduate level.
- Another participant mentions their school uses "Physical Hydrology" by S. Lawrence Dingman for hydrology courses, noting it is appropriate for students with introductory geology and physics backgrounds.
- A participant expresses interest in considering "Applied Hydrogeology" by C.W. Fetter, despite it being primarily for hydrogeology, indicating they have relevant coursework in geology and physics.
- One participant clarifies their field of study as Earth Sciences, not civil engineering.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have differing fields of study and may have varying perspectives on the relevance of specific textbooks, but there is no consensus on a single recommended book for civil engineering students.
Contextual Notes
Participants have not fully explored the applicability of the suggested books to civil engineering specifically, and there may be assumptions regarding prerequisite knowledge that are not explicitly stated.
Who May Find This Useful
Civil engineering students seeking applied hydrology resources, as well as those in Earth Sciences looking for relevant textbooks.
