Systems engineering is an application of systems thinking in engineering which involves an interd... more Systems engineering is an application of systems thinking in engineering which involves an interdisciplinary focus on how complex problems should be analysed and solved. It needs to identify and manipulate the properties of a system as a whole because complex engineering problems may greatly differ from the sum of the parts' properties. New tools and mathematical models have been developed in systems engineering to tackle dynamic complexities. The need for systems engineering arose with the increase in complexity of systems and projects, in turn exponentially increasing the possibility of component friction, and therefore the reliability of the design. This is an introductory book on systems engineering and written for senior undergraduate/postgraduate students in civil and environmental engineering, chemical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. The aim of this book is to provide a concise and comprehensive coverage of systems engineering that is easy to access through the web.

The book content covers the fundamental theories and their applications in systems engineering, including background to systems engineering, system types, system boundaries, emergent properties, hard and soft systems, systems thinking, system architecture, systems tools, systems analysis, system modelling and simulation, optimisation, system uncertainty, principles of systems engineering, systems engineering processes, and decision making. A list of recommended reading resources is provided in the appendix for readers to further explore the interested systems engineering topics.

The aim of this introductory book is to provide a concise and comprehensive coverage on environmental engineering. The book content covers the fundamental concepts/theories and their applications in environmental engineering. The key topics include environment, ecosystems, remote sensing of environment, environmental risk, water supply, water pollution control, solid waste, air pollution, noise pollution, climate change - impacts, mitigation and adaptation.

Despite its importance, there are no readily available text books on analytical flood risk assessment and management, which are urgently needed by senior undergraduates and postgraduates in civil engineering, geography, environmental science, earth science, etc. This book is based on the lecture notes taught at the University of Bristol to master of civil engineering students and should be ideally suited as a text book for the interested students and lecturers. The key chapters in the book are: 1) Flood risk concepts; 2) Probability in hydrology; 3) Statistics in hydrology; 4) Flood frequency analysis; 5) Historical and paleo floods; 6) Fixed regional frequency analysis; 7) Pooled regional frequency analysis; 8) Ungauged catchments; 9) Areal rainfall; 10) Rainfall runoff modelling; 11) Rainfall frequency analysis; 12) PMP/PMF (probable maximum precipitation and probable maximum flood ); 13) Flood risk mapping ; 14) Nonstationary time series; 15) Real-time flood forecasting; 16) Coastal flooding; 17) Flood risk mitigation; 18) Weather and climate change. All chapters are supplemented with challenging questions, answers and solutions.

A knowledge of hydrology is fundamental to water and environmental professionals (engineers, scientists and decision makers) in such tasks as the design and operation of water resources, wastewater treatment, irrigation, flood defence, navigation, pollution control, hydropower, ecosystem modelling, etc. This is an introductory book on hydrology and written for undergraduate students in civil and environmental engineering, environmental science and geography. The aim of this book is to provide a concise coverage of key contents in hydrology that is easy to access through the Internet.

The book covers the fundamental theories on hydrological cycle (water balance, atmospheric water, subsurface water, surface water), precipitation analysis, evaporation and evapotranspiration processes, infiltration, ground water movement, hydrograph analysis, rainfall runoff modelling (unit hydrograph), hydrological flow routing, measurements and data collection, hydrological statistics and hydrological design. The text has been written in a concise format that is integrated with the relevant graphics. There are many examples to further explain the theories introduced. The questions at the end of each chapter are accompanied by the corresponding answers and full solutions. A list of recommended reading resources is provided in the appendix for readers to further explore the interested hydrological topics.
