Preparing systems for special events, such as power outages, taking tanks offline, and system contamination.Identifying and resolving potentially expensive problems, such as undersized piping, inadequate pumping, and poor water quality.Field testing techniques and model calibration approaches.Energy efficiency evaluation, flushing simulation, and solving operational problems, such as inadequate fire protection.Primary sources of data for building water distribution models.A thorough review of water distribution theory.The 800-page book includes extensive material from an international team of experts from both academia and consulting firms. The book contains straightforward answers to common questions related both to modeling and to distribution systems in general.Īdvanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management walks the practicing engineer or student through the modeling process from start to finish - from dataĬollection and field-testing to using a model for system design and complex operational tasks.Īdvanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management also explores transient analysis, GIS technology applications, and water system vulnerability and security. 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.Īdvanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management does just that! Written by industry experts, it provides practical resources for engineers and modelers that go well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program.
