This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems-consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances-carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumers' taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. Recent data on waterborne disease outbreaks suggest that distribution systems remain a source of contamination that has yet to be fully addressed. This report evaluates approaches for risk characterization and recent data, and it identifies a variety of strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events in distribution systems. Particular attention is given to backflow events via cross connections, the potential for contamination of the distribution system during construction and repair activities, maintenance of storage facilities, and the role of premise plumbing in public health risk. The report also identifies advances in detection, monitoring and modeling, analytical methods, and research and development opportunities that will enable the water supply industry to further reduce risks associated with drinking water distribution systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides officials in developing countries with a manual that can assist in the planning of community piped water supply systems and is intended to be the basis for the preparation of country planning manuals. A checklist for planning and priorities for selection of projects precedes the elaboration of principles for planning. Principles include consideration of health, economic and social benefits; environmental and social constraints; and technical, economic, financial, logistic, institutional, and sociocultural considerations. The use of low-cost indigenous materials, simplicity for easy operation and maintenance, financial and institutional capacity, and community participation are emphasized. Project preparation, including project identification, pre-feasibility studies, monitoring and evaluation and technical planning are described. Technical subjects include water quality, system capacity, selection and development of sources, pumps, transmission lines, distribution networks, and water treatment. Attention is given to operation and maintenance, economic and financial considerations, logistic support, and local institutions, including human resources development.

This book was released on 1997-01-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small communities violate federal requirements for safe drinking water as much as three times more often than cities. Yet these communities often cannot afford to improve their water service. Safe Water From Every Tap reviews the risks of violating drinking water standards and discusses options for improving water service in small communities. Included are detailed reviews of a wide range of technologies appropriate for treating drinking water in small communities. The book also presents a variety of institutional options for improving the management efficiency and financial stability of water systems.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilities often experience difficulty planning and designing distribution systems to meet spatial water demands. Water system demand characteristics (quantity, quality, timing, and location) drive many distribution system management, operation, and design decisions. Characteristics such as average-annual use, maximum-day use, maximum-hour use, and fire-flow requirements constrain the makeup, size, and timing of distribution system modifications and expansions. Although sophisticated network models are often used to design and analyze distribution system modifications and expansions, these models traditionally treat nodal demand characteristics as a fixed parameter. In many cases, the spatial distribution of water demand is not well defined.The goals of the project were to * assess existing tools and methodologies used for identification, prediction, and spatial allocation of water demands for distribution system planning and design * make use of state-of-the-art technologies, water consumption data, and other regional data to develop improved empirical depictions of the spatial distribution of water demand * develop common tools and methodologies for predicting and allocating demand in water distribution planning and design models * describe methods for quantifying uncertainties associated with water demand predictions that are used for system planning and design. The project produced practical approaches to working with utility consumption data for developing spatial demand allocation in water distribution modeling and system planning. Furthermore, the researchers introduced innovative statistical methods (e.g., robust statistics, continuous time functional form, and fixed effects methodology). The researchers also explained the potential applications of spatial demand allocation to distribution planning.

This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Science and Technology Board has released the first report of the Committee on Public Water Supply Distribution Systems: Assessing and Reducing Risks, which is studying water quality issues associated with public water supply distribution systems and their potential risks to consumers. The distribution system, which is a critical component of every drinking water utility, constitutes a significant management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. This first report was requested by the EPA, as the agency considers revisions to the Total Coliform Rule with potential new requirements for ensuring the integrity of the distribution system. This first report identifies trends relevant to the deterioration of drinking water quality in distribution systems and prioritizes issues of greatest concern according to high, medium, and low priority categories. Of the issues presented in nine EPA white papers that were reviewed by the committee, cross connections and backflow, new or repaired water mains, and finished water storage facilities were judged by the committee to be of the highest importance based on their associated potential health risks. In addition, the report noted that two other issues should also be accorded high priority: premise plumbing and distribution system operator training. This first report will be followed in about 18 months by a more comprehensive final report that evaluates approaches for risk characterization and identifies strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events.
