Comprehensive Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems

New book from MWH Soft: Comprehensive Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems By Kevin E. Lansey and Paul F. Boulos.

Safe drinking water is essential to life. While effective water treatment is imperative, the distribution system itself represents the final barrier in safeguarding water quality and plays a critical role in protecting a nation’s health, stimulating its economic growth and prosperity, and quenching its thirst.

Modeling and analysis of water quality in distribution systems is vital in giving engineers a better understanding of the dynamics of water quality variations, the complex processes taking place in the distribution system environment, and the ways in which these factors impact system performance and safety. Comprehensive Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems brings together the theoretical and practical information needed to conduct these crucial water quality simulations in pipes, at junctions, within reservoirs and tanks, and in complex networks. It provides a comprehensive overview of distribution system water quality modeling, from steady state equilibrium to more sophisticated dynamic analysis techniques and reaction kinetics, encompassing transformations that occur in the bulk water phase, at the pipe wall, and within storage facilities. Mastery of these analyses will lead not only to better understanding of the factors affecting water quality degradation in drinking water distribution systems, but to enhanced management, design, operation, protection, rehabilitation, and maintenance of those systems – resulting in safer water for everyone.
