This title discusses the applications of software in hydraulic engineering and water resources. It contains the edited proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Hydraulic Engineering Software, held in Greece in September 1994. Topics covered include: hydraulic engineering - hydrodynamic modelling; dam breaking; hydraulic networks; open channel flow; transient and cavitation in fluid systems; hydraulic software; wave propagation; coastal dynamics and estuaries; water resources - hydrology and groundwater flow; flood and drought hazard; groundwater and aquifer modelling; aquifer contamination; water pollution; water supply; irrigation; computational aspects - data acquisition and field instrumentation; interaction between experimental and computer models; the use of computers in the control of experiments; expert systems; software maintenance and support.
