This book covers five major subject areas. The first is evaluation of network flow rates and their variation over time; these are drinking-water and fire-protection flows; storm, sanitary, combined, and pseudo-sanitary flows; and so on. The second introduces rules and regulations for the design of different types of networks and the choice of equipment such as water intakes, street inlets, street-holes, fire hydrants, valves, and connections. The third deals with the dangers and diseases encountered when working in the water engineering fields. The fourth shows computations of loads on buried pipes. The last discusses the very important problem of how to design storm and sanitary sewage networks, two wastewater-intercepting sewers, and a water-distribution network.
Each chapter has complete examples along with a set of exercises at the end. Answers are provided at the back of the book.
