Robert Manning was born in Normandy, France, in 1816, a year after the battle of Waterloo, in which his father has taken part. He died in 1897. In 1826, he moved to Waterford, Ireland, and worked as an accountant. The first best-fit formula was the following:. He then simplified this formula to:. In 1885, Manning gave x. The value of 2/3 and wrote his formula as follows:. In a letter to Flamant, Manning stated: "The reciprocal of C. Corresponds closely with that of n. Manning did not like his own equatio...

William Froude was born in Dartington, Devon, England in November 28, 1810 and died from a stroke on a cruise to Simonstown, South Africa at age 69. He was an engineer, hydrodynamicist and naval architect. Starting in 1859, Froude built the first towing tank, using his own resources. He carried out ship model experiments using the tank, first at his home in Paignton, and later, in his other home, called Chelston Cross, in Torquay. In 1861, he wrote a paper on the design of ship stability in a seaway....

In the Fall of 1993, I took a sabbatical leave at the famed Departamento Nacional de Obras Contra Secas (DNOCS) [National Department of Works Against Droughts], in Fortaleza, Brazil. This work led to several papers on drought hydrology. Among them, Characterization of drought across climatic spectrum. And Management of droughts and floods in the semiarid Brazilian Northeast - The case for conservation. Going back to his years as a Ph.D. student.

A ntoine Chézy was born at Chalon-sur-Marne, France, on September 1, 1718, and died on October 4, 1798. He retired in 1790 under conditions of extreme poverty. It was not until 1797, a year before his death, that the efforts of one of his former students, Baron Riche de Prony, finally resulted in Chézy's belated appointment as director of the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées. In 1749, working in Amsterdam, Cornelius Velsen stated:. The velocity should be proportional to the square root of the slope.". For th...
