Water Distribution Systems is a comprehensive introduction to the topic, covering fundamental concepts and exploring the latest ideas of good practice. Water industry professionals have to address, not only classic design and management problems but also, increasingly, environmental and sustainability requirements and concerns. Drawing together information that is currently scattered across several sources, this book is a concise update of modern practice and current developments. Each chapter has been written by both academics and practitioners, balancing what’s theoretically possible against what’s practical in key areas such as modelling, planning, and operational and management issues, as well as more advanced topics such as leakage management, optimal design, asset planning and management. A good starting point for exploration of a complex topic, Water Distribution Systems is a key text for students and early-stage practitioners training to become water industry practitioners, and a useful reference book for practising engineers, particularly to provide up-to-date information on practices in today’s increasingly complex water industry.
