Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conveyance and Distribution of Water for Water Supply: Aqueducts, Pipe-Lines and Distributing Systems, a Practical Treatise for Water-Works Engineers and Superintendents During the past fifty years, great progress has been made in the construction and operation of water works. Large aqueducts and reservoirs have been built, the efficiency of pumping engines has been improved, and the purification of water has been greatly advanced. A number of good treatises on water supply have been published during recent years, but as they all endeavor to cover the whole subject, they necessarily fail to discuss some parts in sufficient detail to be of practical value to the water works engineer and superintendent. A complete treatise on water supply, including the collection and storage of water, its conveyance and distribution, pumping engines, water purification, and the maintenance and operation of water works, would require several volumes. Some of these subjects have already been fully discussed in separate treatises, but very little has thus far been published about the distribution of water, the detection and prevention of waste of water by means of Pitot tube gaugings and water meters; about fire protection, high-pressure water systems, tapping machines, valve-inserting machines, water stage recorders, and the many other devices and appurtenances with which the water works engineer and superintendent should be familiar. The author has endeavored to cover these subjects in the present volume. The facts given were obtained by practical experience, observation, study and correspondence during a service of over thirty years as one of the engineers of the water works of the City of New York; first, on the construction of the New Croton Aqueduct and Reservoirs, and later as consulting engineer of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity of said city, which has charge of the maintenance and operation of the City's water works. In discussing the various appurtenances and devices used on water works - such as gates, valves, hydrants, water meters, water-stage recorders, etc., - the author has described the leading types and makes. It is hoped that this feature, which makes the book somewhat encyclopedic, will save the water works engineer and superintendent much time and correspondence when he has occasion to consider the merits of different makes of appurtenances and devices.

This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 405 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: Excerpt from Water Works and Pipe Distribution The force of gravity acting with an ample reservoir differs from pump pressure for forcing water through pipes, in the important respect that it is always ready for instant use without notification by means of electric wires, tele phones, etc., and is not liable to break down or get out of order like pumps or other direct pressure appliances. It, moreover, exerts, at all times, a steady pressure on the pipe system, reducing the liability of breakage to a mini mum. A gravity system has a decided advantage over a direct pressure pumping system in that (if pipes are of proper size) the full volume of flow is instantly available without waiting to fire up extra steam boilers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Works and Pipe Distribution In preparing this pamphlet it has been my aim to collate, in condensed form and by systematic arrangement, such important information regarding water-works and street mains as is usually to be found scattered throughout the pages of extensive treatises on hydraulics and water supply, whose authors generally and, perhaps, naturally give more attention to domestic service, potableness, etc., than to fire service. Technical phraseology has been, as far as possible, avoided, in order that the property-holders of a city may understand its recommendations when considering the introduction or improvement of water-works. Impressed with the value of a thorough canvass for the criticism and opinions of others, such as was made in the case of the Universal Mercantile Schedule, the writer decided to send the pamphlet in proof to Hydraulic Engineers, Fire Chiefs and other experts throughout the country, with the result that he is under obligation not only to the gentlemen quoted throughout the pamphlet but, also, to many others and especially to Mr. Freeman, to whom he has been largely indebted, as numerous references throughout the work indicate. Indeed, so wide has been the writers canvass for criticism and so materially has the article been improved by drafts made upon the wisdom of others that he feels more like a compiler than an author. Whatever he may lose in credit for originality, however, will be compensated by the gratification of an honest desire to furnish valuable and reliable information, in a concise form, and by the conviction that those who make use of the treatise will rely more thoroughly upon its statements, for the reason that it involves the consensus of judgment of many able experts, rather than the individual opinions of one man.

Download or read book Losses in Water Distribution Networks written by M. Farley and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a best practice manual for addressing water losses in water distribution networks worldwide. Systems and methodologies are presented for improving water loss and leakage management in a range of networks, from systems with a well-developed infrastructure to those in developing countries where the network may need to be upgraded. The key feature of the manual is a diagnostic approach to develop a water loss strategy - using the appropriate tools to find the right solutions - which can be applied to any network. The methods of assessing the scale and volume of water loss are outlined, together with the procedures for setting up leakage monitoring and detection systems. As well as real losses (leakage) procedures for addressing apparent losses, by introducing regulatory and customer metering policies are explained. Suggestions are made for demand management and water conservation programmes, to complement the water loss strategy. Recommendations are made for training workshops and operation and maintenance programmes to ensure skills transfer and sustainability. The manual is illustrated throughout with case studies. Losses in Water Distribution Networks will appeal to a wide range of practitioners responsible for designing and managing a water loss strategy. These include consultants, operations managers, engineers, technicians and operational staff. It will also be a valuable reference for senior managers and decision makers, who may require an overview of the principles and procedures for controlling losses. The book will also be suitable as a source document for courses in Water Engineering, Resource Management and Environmental Management.
