The communications on Hydraulic an Geotechnical Engineering have been published by the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Delft University of Technology. In the first years mainly research reports were published, in the later years the main focus was republishing Ph.D.-theses from this Department. The function of the paper version of the Communications was to disseminate information mainly to other libraries and research institutes. (Note that not all Ph.D.-theses of the department were published in this series. For a full overview is referred to www.hydraulicengineering.tudelft.nl ==> research ==> dissertations).

At this moment this series is mainly used to disseminate background information related to other publications (e.g. data reports with data underlying journal papers and Ph.D. theses). Recent issues of the Communications are only available in digital format. A notification will be sent to interested readers when new issues are released. For placement on the notification list, please send an e-mail to h.j.verhagen@tudelft.nl.

Older versions (before 1986) were published as Communications on Hydraulic Engineering.
A number of internal reports were not published in this series, but are available via this website.

Postal address for the Communications is: TU Delft, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, department of Hydraulic Engineering, Stevinweg 1, 2628CN Delft, Netherlands. Permissions for republishing parts (figures, data), can be obtained from the responsible publisher, ir. H.J. Verhagen
