Design of Water Supply Pipe Networks consolidates information on the analysis and design of water supply systems into one practical, hands-on reference.

Design of Water Supply Pipe Networks covers:

• Optimal sizing
• Reorganization of existing water systems
• Transportation of solids through pipelines
• Water systems zoning, slurry flow, capsule transport, gravity flow systems design, and more
• Single-input-source branched systems and looped systems
• Multi-input-source branched systems and looped systems
• Writing water distribution programs, including network analysis algorithms and programming

Throughout Design of Water Supply Pipe Networks, the logical progression and examples facilitate understanding.
