Book Proposal
Statement of Aims
Background: derived from research, practice and teaching.
Rationale: a collection of engineering applications in the area of water resources including:
hydrology, hydraulics, irrigation, water environment, and Linear Programming
applications. It concentrates on how to put design calculations in spreadsheet
form.
Approach: make design calculations easier and more efficient without learning much about
programming, use of graphics, statistics and optimization tools available in
EXCEL.
Features: the simple use of a powerful computational tool to carry out water resources
calculations with practical examples.
Definition of Market
Readership: aimed for practicing engineers, engineering instructors,can be bought by
educational institutions and government and private design offices, will be read by
engineers, professionals,and engineering students,it has an international appeal
since the examples used are of global importance and reflect the state of the art
practices, it can be sold in the States,Europe, the Far and the Middle East, the
subject is basic engineering topics and the approach is used already.
Level: undergraduate engineering students, and probably diploma level, the book takes
the reader to a higher professionallevel.
Courses: recommended for third year engineering students as a supplementary book on the
main subjects:hydraulics, hydrology, irrigation and environmental engineering, or
as main text on a series of courses that can be titled computational hydraulics or
hydrology, irrigation design calculations, computational environmental hydraulics,
project management, or network problems.
Existing Books: there is no clear competitor, since the available books are less specialized and do
not follow the same approach,I find my book more clear and the examples cited
are more practical. The following are some samples of related books,
 Quattro Pro for Scientific and Engineering Spreadsheets,R.G.Parks,
Springer-Verlag,1992
 Computerized Environmental Modelling,J. Hardisty, D Taylor, S.
Metcalfe, John Wiley & Sons, 1993
 Spreadsheet Tools for Engineers, B. Gottfried, McGraw-Hill, 2000
 Spreadsheets in Science and Engineering,G. Filby (Ed.), Springer-
Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998

  • 23. November 2013 Page 23 of 25 Book Proposal Statement of Aims Background: derived from research, practice and teaching. Rationale: a collection of engineering applications in the area of water resources including: hydrology, hydraulics, irrigation, water environment, and Linear Programming applications. It concentrates on how to put design calculations in spreadsheet form. Approach: make design calculations easier and more efficient without learning much about programming, use of graphics, statistics and optimization tools available in EXCEL. Features: the simple use of a powerful computational tool to carry out water resources calculations with practical examples. Definition of Market Readership: aimed for practicing engineers, engineering instructors,can be bought by educational institutions and government and private design offices, will be read by engineers, professionals,and engineering students,it has an international appeal since the examples used are of global importance and reflect the state of the art practices, it can be sold in the States,Europe, the Far and the Middle East, the subject is basic engineering topics and the approach is used already. Level: undergraduate engineering students, and probably diploma level, the book takes the reader to a higher professionallevel. Courses: recommended for third year engineering students as a supplementary book on the main subjects:hydraulics, hydrology, irrigation and environmental engineering, or as main text on a series of courses that can be titled computational hydraulics or hydrology, irrigation design calculations, computational environmental hydraulics, project management, or network problems. Existing Books: there is no clear competitor, since the available books are less specialized and do not follow the same approach,I find my book more clear and the examples cited are more practical.
