Great Guide.......2005-05-12
I studied a structural engineering in college & have no background in hydraulics, but somehow ended up in site-planning. My mentor left my firm & I was left on my own to struggle through drainage designs. This book has been a great complement to the guidelines & regulations I have, and has helped understand the theory behind all the computer based calculations I run.

Book Description
Complete guidelines to developing and maintaining the most effective, environment-friendly irrigation systems for golf courses
Golf Course Irrigation offers valuable insight on the design, installation, management, and maintenance of irrigation systems-the most important management tool used on today's golf courses. Without manufacturers' bias, this useful resource provides hands-on guidance to the highest quality irrigation systems, including specifications and applications of the best pump stations, controllers, sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves, sensors, and other components that make the difference in top-quality irrigation systems.
Typically regarded as significant users of water, golf courses are under increasing scrutiny by governmental and environmental groups, making it essential that the up-to-date information found here-on such topics as water supply, plant irrigation requirements, application uniformity, and construction management-be at the fingertips of every golf course professional. While fostering the best playing conditions, these systems conserve water and energy with such technology as low-pressure heads and controls that use "if/then" logic to automatically adjust to changing conditions, which can improve playability while saving money.
Golf Course Irrigation is a practical tool to help golf course architects, builders, superintendents, irrigation consultants, designers, and installers to improve aesthetics and playing conditions in the face of diminishing natural resources. It is also an informative reference for golf course owners, developers, local officials, students, and fans of the game.

What I have been waiting for!.......2003-02-06
People in my industry (golf) finally have a "Bible" to refer to when it comes to professional irrigation systems. Laid out in a basic, yet thorough format this book has it all, from good photos to useful charts and glossary. Anyone even considering installing a new system should have this book at their side. I wish I had it when our system was designed and "thrown in the ground" by a purported expert.
Product Description
100 illustrations plus 100 details. Establishing adequate drainage is a critical first step in many of today's construction projects. And often, retaining walls must be used to provide a sufficiently level grade. These two topics--Drainage and Retaining Walls--necessarily go hand-in-hand. This unique reference provides a comprehensive introduction to doing both right: Rainfall and Runoff; Roof, Basement and Crawlspace Drainage; Lot Drainage--including Septic Systems; Street Drainage; Grading for Drainage; Slope Drainage; The various types of retaining walls; Estimating concrete walls, etc.; Concrete and Masonry Retaining Walls; Modular units and similar types of Retaining Walls: Bin, Crib, etc. PLUS a full glossary, detailed index, more than 100 new black-and-white illustrations, and 100 sample details. CD-ROM COMPANION brings you the complete book in PDF format (printing disabled), as well as a separate PDF file with 100 details, which you can print.

Must-Have Book.......2003-12-03
Size is not everything. This great book tells you what you need to know about building retaining walls and drainage systems. After reading this 152-page, well-written book, you will have the knowledge to solve most drainage problems and how to build a good retaining wall. It includes an overview of soils.

Finally, a book that answers the REAL questions..............2000-04-14
I found the book to be an inclusive reference for the many scattered bits of data, information and guidance that are needed when one takes on the construction of a large project, such as a golf course. The multitude of decisions that you run into normally cause many delays, while the answers are sought and decisions are pondered. This book gives a quick reference that can be handy to both the site superintendent or construction foreman. A must for any golf course superintendent and everyone involved in golf course construction.
Fantastic, an all you need to know guideline to construction.......1999-10-07
Being in the business for several years now I have searched long and hard for a manual or book that sums it all up, well folks, I've found it. From cover to cover this book is filled with all you need to know for on site construction. Not only does it have all the info I need it is sizeable enough that I can carry it with me everywhere on the job and believe me I do. Not only that but I believe that my son will be able to use it in his studies in college. All in all you can't go wrong with this book. It's a one in a million deal.

Customer Reviews:
One of those bricks to support your career.......2005-02-26
Seriously, it is thick as a brick, and it is full of facts and formulas and practical advice for engineers. But you should not use this book instead of an engineer--it starts at a too high level. For instance, if you are looking for simple wave equations, look elsewhere. But if coastal engineering is your future, buy this book, borrow it, steal it, whatever you have to do, just get it. I only give it 4 stars since it may loose some readers due to its rather high entry level. But of course, the price suggests that it is an expert book.
Good Book.......2000-10-19
Good book for engineers, If you are doing coastal projects then you must have this book

Book Description
Modern Land Drainage is a fully renewed and extended edition of Land Drainage: Planning and Design of Agricultural Drainage systems, which was first published in 1983 (Batsford, London). The book is based on traditional drainage methods for rain-fed agriculture in the humid temperature zone. Significant parts are devoted to drainage for salinity control of irrigated land in (semi-) arid zones, and to drainage of rice land in the humid tropics. Institutional, management and maintenance aspects are extensively covered, as well as the mitigation of adverse impacts of drainage interventions on the environment. Moreover, various applications for drainage, design and management are treated.
