Geotecnia en ingeniería de presas
(Geotechnics in Dam Engineering)
Raúl Flores, et al.
This book offers basic, global, and didactic information on the conception of projects and
studies for the analysis and design of earth- and rockfill dams with a practical, informative,
and illustrative approach. The book includes topics such as geotechnics and dams, seismicity,
stability, stress and deformation, hydrology, environmental impact, applied geology, soil and
rock properties, earth- and rockfill materials, and water flow foundation and control. 586 pp.

Instructivo para aforo con molinete
(Instruction Manual for Flow Measurements Using a Propeller Current Meter)
Juan C. Herrera, et al.
This manual describes in a simple and detailed way the use of the propeller current meter
for natural currents and lined and earth canals, so that even personnel with little
experience with the use of this instrument can make reliable flow measurements.

Manual de aforos
(Current Measurement Manual)
This work describes the existing current measurement methods for rivers and canals, on-farm
outlets, on-farm water applications, pumping equipment discharges, and pressurized irrigation
systems. Examples are given to illustrate their use, especially to personnel from hydrometry
and water measuring brigades in irrigation districts and units. 137 pp.

Obras de excedencia
(Spillway structures)
Felipe Arreguín
The contents of this book concur with the hydraulic works curriculum of civil engineering
programs of major Latin American universities. It allows to design weirs, including headrace
canals, throats, discharge conduits, and terminal structures, as well as the structural
analysis of works. It also contains blueprints of works constructed in Mexico and solved and
proposed exercises.
US$37.50
