That is a great book for technical information plus lots of common sense stuff.
Our book, "Perfect Pond, Want One?" is a good compliment to it, too. The 590 Handbook provides good engineering data as well as practical information about building dams.
Perfect Pond is mostly anecdotal and also spends time telling people what not to do through true stories.
Glad you posted how to find the 590 book. In our office, we make copies to pass on to people.
