Here are a bunch of areas I thought could be edited on my initial read through:
* When listing the assumptions for the Bernoulli equation, you state that "friction by viscous forces must be negligible" but never define exactly what that means.   Consider adding a sentence or two to define that and explain generally when that is true or not
* Under the energy equation where you include terms for energy gain/loss from pumps and turbines, does that mean only pumps and turbines, or any system that adds or removes energy from the fluid mechanically?  Consider elaborating on that slightly
* Consider adding a diagram showing friction and shear in the major losses section
* Define laminar and turbulent flow regimes before major losses section
* You use the continuity equation many times throughout, but never really define or explain why it is valid
* In the orifice section, you state that the equation is for a horizontal orifice, but the picture you use to explain it shows a vertical orifice.

Feel free to ask me for clarifications!

Thanks for the comments Ian, they're all great suggestions that I will incorporate later today.

Please keep leaving detailed issues like this as you read through more documents, they're incredibly helpful!

*introduce variable for head earlier maybe?
*introduce control volumes and streamlines

- For Laminar and Turbulent Flow, specify the approximate value/range of the Reynold's number for each type of flow in the second paragraph

- Streamlines and Control Volumes, second paragraph: "Imagine" instead of "image"?

- First image in Streamlines and Control Volumes doesn't load

@username_1 more suggestions after another readthrough:
* Is this textbook aimed just for Cornell students or for anyone interested in AguaClara plant design?  If you're aiming for the latter, I would remove references to CEE 3310 and replace with "your fluid mechanics course" or something similar
* I'm getting an error with the latex equation in the head loss trick section, above the words "We now get"
