Hydraulic Design Books
(OP)
I am interested in purchasing some good Design Books for Storm Water, Sewer, and Potable Water. I am having trouble finding books that give detailed real world examples and commentary using the applicable codes. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for the help.

Stormwater Collection Systems Design Handbook, Larry W. Mays
Applied Hydrology, Chow/Maidment/Mays
There are others but at a minimum the first one is good to have on the shelf. The Hydrology one is always a great source, but if I narrow it down to one it would be the collection design.

handbook of hydraulics - Brater and King
I'm not sure any of these give "commentary using the applicable codes"

If i had to narrow it to three, I'd say the M&E wastewater collection and pumping, any undergraduate level hydraulics book, and I think Haested methods has a book for water distribution design. It's tough to narrow it though.
As cvg mentioned, Chow and B&K are both classic hydraulic texts, but real world examples aren't their intent.

I highly recommend "Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments" by CT Haan, BJ Barfield, and JC Hayes.
