Introduction to Urban Water Distribution: Unesco-IHE Lecture Note Series

by Nemanja Trifunovic

Focusing primarily on basis of hydraulic design and computer modelling applied in water distribution, this book explains the general principles and practices of water distribution in a straightforward way. The workshop problems and design exercise develop a temporal and spatial perception of the main hydraulic parameters in the system for given layout and demand scenarios. The author provides a detailed discussion of water demand, which is a fundamental element of any network analysis, and principles of network construction, operation, and maintenance. The attached CD contains all spreadsheet applications mentioned in the text, and the network model used in the design exercise.
