"Introduction to Urban Water Distribution" focuses primarily on understanding the steady-state hydraulics that form the basis of hydraulic design and computer modelling applied in water distribution, elaborating the general principles and practices of water distribution in a straightforward way. The workshop problems and the design exercise develop a temporal and spatial perception of the main hydraulic parameters in the system for given layout and demand scenarios. Furthermore, the book contains a detailed discussion of water demand, which is a fundamental element of any network analysis, and principles of network construction, operation and maintenance. The accompanying CD contains all spreadsheet applications mentioned in the text, and the network model used in the design exercise. Written in a manner that is accessible to those who, as yet, know little about the subject, this introductory text will also benefit experts dealing with advanced problems who wish to refresh their knowledge.
