Since the previous edition of Water Supply was published in 1994, there have been significant changes in the field. Systems have been updated and re-designed, and new concepts such as demand management are now commonplace in the water technologists environment. The new edition of Water Supply is written by experts from one of the top engineering consultancies in the world and covers up-to-date issues in water engineering. International standards are examined in depth and there is detailed coverage of WHO, UK, European and US standards, organisations and practices. The authors adopt a practical approach throughout and provide a wide survey of all the processes involved in procuring, treating and distributing water. Contents Public water supply requirements and its measurements The organisation and financing of public water supplies Hydrology and surface supplies Groundwater supplies Dams, impounding reservoirs and river intakes Chemistry, microbiology and biology of water Storage, clarification and filtration of water Specialised and advanced water treatment processes Disinfection of water Hydraulics Service reservoirs Pumping plant: instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) systems Pipes, pipeline construction and valves Pipeline and distribution system design and analysis Distribution practice
