Improving Efficiency and Reliability in Water Distribution Systems

Two of the main concerns in respect of water supply systems are their efficiency and their reliability, which are discussed in this text. They are grouped into five sections, and the book covers fundamentals, leakage detection in networks, network management (leakage control), managing water distribution systems to reduce energy costs, and reliability, risk analysis and rehabilitation. A balanced approach has been achieved by inviting contributors from academia as well as consultancies and water supply companies.
