Mixing in Inland and Coastal Waters, by Fischer et al
The book is a must have for engineers working on pollutant transport in surface waters. Published in 1979, it is necessarily dated. However, it is a classic and kudos are due to Elsevier for continuing to make it available. See the comprehensive review by D. Harleman, in J. Fluid Mech. (1982), vol. 114, pp. 629-534
