Drinking Water Distribution, Sewage, and Rainfall Collection is the first
textbook produced in French and English entirely devoted to practical
hydraulic problems as they occur in modern cities. It looks at the design
and application of equipment for drinking water distribution, runoff and
sewage collection. Fundamental hydraulic principles are presented clearly
and their application is illustrated in examples representative of
real-world situations. Exercises and problems enable students to test
their knowledge in each chapter. Specific topics include the measurement
of sewage flow, sewage pumping stations, pump selection, inverted siphon,
and characteristics of pipes available on the market in a wide variety of
materials. The textbook also covers issues such as water hammer and other
overpressures, dead and live loads, underground pipe installation, water
supply to high rise buildings, the design of sewer and water service
connections, water flows and volumes for fire fighting, water intake and
intake pipes, fire hydrants, water inlets and valve settings on water
networks, sewage outfall, pipe freezing and corrosion, thrust blocks and
restrained joints, culverts, etc. One chapter is entirely devoted to
waterborne diseases, chemical contaminants and dangerous gases that
accumulate in enclosed spaces. Engineers, technicians and scientists can
use the textbook to learn the basic requirements for designing and
evaluating sanitary storm networks, sewage networks and water distribution
networks.
This book is aimed at professors and students of civil engineering and at
practising engineers and technicians in consulting firms and
municipalities.
