About the book Design of Water Distribution Network is traditionally based on trial-and-approach in which the designer assumes, based on experience and judgment, sizes of different elements and successively modifies them until a network with satisfactory hydraulic performance is obtained. This text Covers: l Essential hydraulic, economic optimization Principles l Theory is developed gradually for optimal design of simple, single-source branched networkd subjected to single loading to complex, multiple-source looped net works subjected to multiple loading l Strengthening and expansion of existing networks and also reliability-based design l Several Illustrative examples enabling the reader to apply them in practice approximately 100 line drawing | |
