Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management walks the practicing engineer or student through the modeling process from start to finish - from data collection and field-testing to using a model for system design and complex operational tasks. To effectively use water distribution models the engineer must be able to link knowledge of basic hydraulic theory and the mechanics of the program with that of the operation of real-world systems. Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management also explores transient analysis GIS technology applications and water system vulnerability and security. Written by industry experts the book includes extensive material from an international team of experts from both academia and consulting firms. It provides practical resources for engineers and modelers that go well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program. Topics include: A thorough review of water distribution theory Primary sources of data for building water distribution models Demand allocation and projection Energy efficiency evaluation flushing simulation and solving operational problems such as inadequate fire protection Field testing techniques and model calibration approaches Identifying and resolving potentially expensive problems such as undersized piping inadequate pumping and poor water quality Preparing systems for special events such as power outages taking tanks offline and system contamination Advanced Topics Featured In-depth coverage of optimization techniques for model calibration system design and pump operations. Advanced water quality modeling topics including tank mixing water quality solution algorithms sampling techniques tracer studies tank design and maintenance of adequate disinfectant residuals. Integration of SCADA systems with water distribution modeling for estimating model demands initial conditions and control settingsforecasting system operationscalibrating extended-period simulation modelsstreamlining water quality analysisand estimating water loss during a main break. The essentials of transient analysis including the causes and sources of transients as well as the potential effects of transients on water distribution systems. Application of GIS technology for skeletonization demand allocation and pipe break analysisdiscussion of the technological issues that arise when integrating GIS and water distribution modelingand the current state of the technology. Use of models to assess water system vulnerability and security respond to emergencies in real-time simulate contamination events prioritize physical security improvements and unravel past contamination events. The Bentley Systems WaterCAD software included with the book comprises academic-licensed versions of the professional software covered. WaterCAD is the world's leading solution for water distribution hydraulic modeling. The software contains problem data files in both System International and English units WaterCAD documentation and interactive tutorials and lessons.Read more
