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.
Written by world-renowned industry experts, Comprehensive
Handbook on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems
offers the most extensive reference ever published on water
quality transport and mixing in the distribution system environment.
Featuring more than 100 solved problems, this working handbook
for engineers, operators, regulators, students and practitioners
provides an unprecedented educational experience on the critical
topic of water distribution systems engineering and management.
"Comprehensive Handbook
on Water Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems is
a single reference offering a comprehensive review of the
principles, phenomenon and current trends in the operation
of treated water distribution systems. The text will be of
value to students, engineers, distribution system managers
and operators.”

Specialist, HDR Inc., Denver, CO
"Comprehensive Handbook on Water
Quality Analysis for Distribution Systems provides an
essential reference for this developing field. Like MWH-Soft's
other handbooks, the authors have written a concise yet comprehensive
coverage of distribution system water quality modeling topics.
This book provides detailed guidance and practical techniques
for developing and applying models in the pursuit of improved
system performance and satisfied customer service and regulatory
objectives."
