A comprehensive overview of stormwater and wastewater collection methods from around the world, written by leading experts

This handbook, written by leading experts, is the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage on the design of stormwater collections systems. The only work of it's kind, this authoritative and inclusive compendium brings you detailed coverage of the latest design methods and tools for analyzing stormwater collection systems. Each chapter provides expert, detailed, professional guidance on the important components of stormwater collection systems.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for stormwater inlets, sewers, both in-line and off-line detention systems, infiltration systems, subsurface detention systems, pump facilities, and many more system components.

*New concepts for the design and implementation of distributed stormwater control and reuse and stormwater treatment using wetland systems are presented

*Specialized procedures for the removal of urban litter abd sediment movement in sewers are featured

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for drainage channels, flow transitions, and energy dissipates

*Many computer models are introduced that can be used in the design of various components of stormwater collection systems

*Water quality aspects of stormwater collections systems design are discussed

*Risk/reliability models for design and analysis are presented

Written by a team of experts, this is the first book to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the safety and security of water supply systems. This unique and authoritative compendium presents detailed coverage of the major infrastructure issues in water system security. Topics range from vulnerability assessment to safeguards against cyber threats to hydraulic network analysis for contamination response. Each chapter provides professional guidance on designing, operating, maintaining, and rehabilitating water systems to ensure state-of-the-art and security.

FEATURES INCLUDE:* Overview of methodologies for reliability analysis and assessment of vulnerability to terrorist attack and for emergency response planning.* Monitoring and modeling methods for early warning systems that enhance security* Specialized remote monitoring equipment, networks, and optimal location of control and isolation valves* Organizational frameworks and procedures for improving the security and safety of water supply systems* Options for emergency preparedness, including water supply for nonconventional times and contamination responses* Case studies from the field: a reconstruction of historical contamination events* Security hardware and surveillance systems

All-in-one, state-of-the-art guide to safe drinking water Civil engineers and anyone else involved in any way with the design, analysis, operation, maintenance or rehabilitation of water distribution systems will find practical guidance in Water Distribution Systems Handbook. Experts selected by Handbook editor Larry W. Mays provide historical, present day, and future perspectives, as well as state-of-the-art details previously available only in specialized journals. You get a comprehensively detailed exploration of every facet of the hydraulics of pressurized flow; piping design and pipeline systems; storage issues; reliability analysis and distribution, and more. Detailed information on the latest technology contributions and on enhancements to the EPANET model are included. You''ll also find case studies that range from the small municipal systems found in every U.S. town, to large systems common to great urban centers like New York, London and Paris.

Modern water conveyance and storage techniques are the product of thousands of years of human innovation; today we rely on that same innovation to devise solutions to problems surrounding the rational use and conservation of water resources, with the same overarching goal: to supply humankind with adequate, clean, freshwater. Water Resources Engineering presents an in-depth introduction to hydrological and hydraulic processes, with rigorous coverage of both core principles and practical applications.

The discussion focuses on the engineering aspects of water supply and water excess management, relating water use and the hydrological cycle to fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, energy, and other physical concepts, while emphasizing the use of up-to-date analytical tools and methods. Now in its Third Edition, this straightforward text includes new links to additional resources that help students develop a deeper, more intuitive grasp of the material, while the depth and breadth of coverage retains a level of rigor suitable for use as a reference among practicing engineers.
