Errata: (Readers are encouraged to mail me at rajeshs@iitk.ac.in about any errors they spot. A treat is promised to the first spotter of an error when we meet the next time. The errors have been corrected in the first reprint published in August 2009, except in chapters 2, 7, 8 and 9, shown in Red below)

Chapter No.	Error in/on	Spotted by	Correction
1	Fig. 1.17 Fig. 1.20		The flow depth should be y and not Y The sign > is missing between V and √gD
2	Page 27, Para 2 Page 42, footnote 21 Fig. 2.11 Example 2.8 Example 2.9 Exercise 2.9	Pranjal Dixit Pranjal Dixit	basis should be replaced by basic There is a Θ missing in the equation, before the [ change the dashed line to dotted Area should be 20.12, R is 0.1841, Q is 13.72 Main channel: A is 10.12, P is 9.376, R is 1.079, V is 2.218, Q is 22.44 Total discharge is 26.98 In answer, 2.26 should be 2.6
3	Footnote 2 Fig. 3.2 Eq. (3.10) 2^nd and 3^rd lines after Eq (3.10) Page 79, footnote 6 Example 3.2 3^rd line below Eq. (3.25) Page 100, just before Eq. (3.41) Fig. 3.14 Page 110, line 2	Sonali Pattnayak	"opposition current" should be "opposing current" The control volume is enclosed by lines perpendicular to the bed and not vertical as shown vx should be vX "using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality" should be replaced by "writing vX as sum of mean velocity, V, and deviation v' " Replace by this. At the end of the solution, the phrase "As seen in Example 3.2" should be deleted "Froude number will increase" should be "Froude number will decrease" Eq. (3.33) should be Eq. (3.23) The y-axis labels 1 and 10 should be lowered (Eq. 3.38) should be Eq. (3.38)
4	Page 142, line 4 Eq. 4.23 Fig. 4.18 Fig. 4.19 Table 4.1 Example 4.10		9.5 m)^3 should be 9.5 m^3) t should be the greek letter l P_w should be shown as the pressure force on weir The upper and lower nappe should be labeled The table is missing a row. Correct table is here. "Table 4.2" should be "Table 4.1"
5	Fig. 5.3(b) Fig. 5.4 Fig. 5.12		y-axis labels should be 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 not 1,2,3 (a) and (b) have been switched CV should be shown by a rectangular area

7	Equations after Fig. 7.7		In the approximation for E(k), 4630151 should be 0.4630151
8	Fig. 8.7 Page 331, Eq. (8.25) and Example 8.8 Fig. 8.9 Page 343 Page 343		The line shown at T=1 should be at T=3. See here. exp(-0.05T) should be exp(-0.5T). The value of h should be 6.5 mm, instead of 0.7 mm. The figure for J2 is incorrect (actually the same figure is repeated). The correct figure is here. After Eq. (8.48), "Eq. (8.35)" should be "Eq. (8.48)" The factor [1/{(1+m^2)sin^2}] is incorrect. The correct expression is same as that in Eq. (8.48)
9	Examples 9.1, 9.3, 9.4 Above Eq. 9.17 Footnote 15	Dr. Nosrat Maghsoudi	The mass released is 100 tonnes NOT 100 kg. Accordingly, in the solutions: Ex. 9.1: mp=100 tonne, Ex. 9.3: mpl=2x10^10 mg/m, Ex. 9.4: mpp=2x10^7 mg/m^2. The concentration units of mg/l are correct! Total mass is mpp By not mpp as printed Missing: it said that velocity and dispersion are assumed to be constant
