Download or read book Introduction to Urban Water Distribution Second Edition written by Nemanja Trifunovic and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Urban Water Distribution comprises the core training material used in the Master of Science programme in Urban Water and Sanitation at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education. Participants in this programme are professionals working in the water and sanitation sector from over forty, predominantly developing, countries from all parts of the world. Outside this diverse audience, the most appropriate readers are those who know little or nothing about the subject. However, experts dealing with advanced problems can also use it as a refresher of their knowledge, as well as the teachers in this field may like to use some of the contents in their educational programmes. The general focus in the book is on understanding the steady-state hydraulics that forms the basis of hydraulic design and computer modelling applied in water distribution. The main purpose of the workshop problems and three computer exercises is to 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 on water demand, which is a fundamental element of any network analysis, and general principles of network construction, operation and maintenance. The book includes nearly 700 illustrations and the accompanying electronic materials contain all the spreadsheet applications and the network model files used in solving the workshop problems and computer exercises. This book is the first volume of the Introduction to Urban Water Distribution, 2nd Edition set.

Download or read book Water Systems Analysis Design and Planning written by Mohammad Karamouz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents three distinct pillars for analysis, design, and planning: urban water cycle and variability as the state of water being; landscape architecture as the medium for built-by-design; and total systems as the planning approach. The increasing demand for water and urban and industrial expansions have caused myriad environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments. More frequent and severe floods and droughts have changed the resiliency and ability of water infrastructure systems to operate and provide services to the public. These concerns and issues have also changed the way we plan and manage our water resources. Focusing on urban challenges and contexts, the book provides foundational information regarding water science and engineering while also examining topics relating to urban stormwater, water supply, and wastewater infrastructures. It also addresses critical emerging issues such as simulation and economic modeling, flood resiliency, environmental visualization, satellite data applications, and digital data model (DEM) advancements. Features: Explores various theoretical, practical, and real-world applications of system analysis, design, and planning of urban water infrastructures Discusses hydrology, hydraulics, and basic laws of water flow movement through natural and constructed environments Describes a wide range of novel topics ranging from water assets, water economics, systems analysis, risk, reliability, and disaster management Examines the details of hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling and simulation of conceptual and data-driven models Delineates flood resiliency, environmental visualization, pattern recognition, and machine learning attributes Explores a compilation of tools and emerging techniques that elevate the reader to a higher plateau in water and environmental systems management Water Systems Analysis, Design, and Planning: Urban Infrastructure serves as a useful resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in the areas of water resources and systems analysis, as well as practicing engineers and landscape professionals.

Download or read book Mitigating Contaminant Transport in Utility Installation written by Wu-Seng Lung and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has experienced problems with various forms of contamination (primarily from underground storage tanks, USTs) migrating into its right-of-way. In many cases VDOT has had to install culverts, pipes or other utilities through these contaminated areas. Utility installation in VDOT's construction projects includes laying telephone lines, power lines, and construction of sanitary and storm sewers. When installed through contaminated areas, these utilities or utility corridors may serve as conduits or preferential pathways for the migration of contaminants offsite, thereby introducing the possibility of liability for VDOT. Because little information exists regarding ways of preventing such contamination from migrating along preferential pathways created by the installation of utilities, the primary objective of this project, and the resulting document, is to classify the typical types of contamination problems and outline mitigation measures to prevent or minimize them. Emphasis is placed on presenting real-world and practical mitigation methods, guidelines, and procedures. Although the manual is intended for use by field operatives and designers primarily as a guide for obtaining additional, more detailed information, it also presents some methods that can be applied directly.
