Description

Computer modeling is a water utility's most powerful tool for managing and operating a water distribution system. This 4th edition ofM32 Computer Modeling of Water Distribution Systems, describes how to build accurate water distribution system models, and use models to manage assets and solve hydraulic and water quality problems. _x000d_
The manual discusses how to use models to: _x000d_
_x000d_
Predict pressures and flows _x000d_
Evaluate layouts and designs_x000d_
Solve operating problems _x000d_
Investigate control schemes _x000d_
Size components _x000d_
Develop new or improve existing flushing programs _x000d_
Prioritize asset maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement efforts _x000d_
Calculate energy costs _x000d_
Improve water quality _x000d_
This edition has been updated to reflect significant changes in computer modeling and the water industry. It has more information on asset management, and new chapters on model maintenance and advanced modeling applications (e.g., system reliability and real-time modeling).
