 What They Say
|
"What sets this book aside from other instructional water industry
resources is the manner in which it is organized and the clarity of the
information presented. It is written in a style that de-mistifies the task
of understanding hydraulics and water distribution modeling problems. In addition, it supports presented theory with appropriate and easy-to-
interpret figures and diagrams. I have shared the book with several
colleagues within my organization whose experience with managing and modeling our distribution system covers a broad range and they have all found genuine benefit in it. The book represents a great resource for those requiring basic hydraulic knowledge as well as those with extensive modeling experience. "

 About the Book
|
 |
To effectively use water distribution models, the engineer must be able to link knowledge of basic hydraulic theory and the mechanics of the program with that of the operation of real-world systems.
Water Distribution Modeling does just that!
|
Written by industry experts, it provides a practical resource for engineers and modelers that goes well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program. It contains straightforward answers to common questions related both to modeling and to distribution systems in general.
This 400+ page textbook walks the practicing engineer or student through the modeling process from start to finish - from data collection and field-testing to using a model for system design and complex operational tasks.
- Thorough review of water distribution theory
- Primary sources of data for building water distribution models
- Demand allocation and projection
- Energy efficiency evaluation, flushing simulation, and solving operational problems, such as inadequate fire protection
- Field testing techniques and model calibration approaches
- Identifying and resolving potentially expensive problems, such as undersized piping, inadequate pumping, and poor water quality
- Preparing systems for special events, such as power outages, taking tanks offline, and system contamination
