Irrigation Engineering and Hydraulic Structures comprehensively deals with all aspects of Irrigation in India, soil moisture and different types of irrigation systems including but not limited to Sprinkler, Tubewell, Canal and Micro-Irrigation. The book also focuses on Engineering Hydrology, Dams, Water Power Engineering as well as Irrigation Water Management. Special care has been taken to highlight the principles, practices and design procedures that have been widely recommended as well as suggest improvements in the application of existing methods and adoption of latest techniques used in other parts of the world.
The First Edition of this treatise on Irrigation Engineering duly subsidised by national Book trust,Government of India,published in 1984.was highly acclaimed by the engineering teachers and taughts and its revised edition appeared in 1990.The dynamism inherent in the subject necessitated drastic changes in the text,prompted by theoverwhelming response of irrigation and agriculture engineering students and practising engineers in the country and abroad duly patronised by the publications,Shri Ravindra Kumar Gupta,Managing Director,S.Chand & Company Ltd.,New Delhi

This book is designed to give an existing state of knowledge in the field of hydrology, irrigation engineering, and hydraulic structures in a brief manner so that students can use it for their own reference from time to time. Compared to other voluminous books available on the subject, the author has tried to cover the important subject matter in an abridged manner in approximately 320 pages. Besides the full explanation of the theoretical aspects with well-illustrated figures, it gives a number of solved numerical examples. Problems for practice are also given with answers at the end of each chapter.
