Water Engineering: Hydraulics, Distribution And Treatment

Details the design and process of water supply systems, tracing the progression from source to sink

• Organized and logical flow, tracing the connections in the water-supply system from the water's source to its eventual use
• Emphasized coverage of water supply infrastructure and the design of water treatment processes
• Inclusion of fundamentals and practical examples so as to connect theory with the realities of design
• Provision of useful reference for practicing engineers who require a more in-depth coverage, higher level students studying drinking water systems as well as students in preparation for the FE/PE examinations
• Inclusion of examples and homework questions in both SI and US units
