Water supply systems are arguably the most important public utility, and colossal amounts of money are spent every year on building out or upgrading water facilities. This book covers a wide spectrum of topics related to the analysisand design of water supply systems, from cost considerations to the general principles and essential parameters required for optimal water distribution design. Also covered are reorganization of existing water supply systems, optimalsizing, and network decomposition. A unique advantage of this book is its discussion of sediment transport through pipelines, such as the movement of water-suspended coal and metallic ore or the pneumatic conveyance of grains and solid wastes.
