| Summary: | Gravity-driven water flow networks are a crucial method of delivering clean water to millions of people worldwide, and an essential agricultural tool. This book provides an all-encompassing guide to designing these water networks, combining theory and case studies. It includes design formulas for water flow in single or multiple, uniform or non-uniform diameter pipe networks, case studies on how systems are built, used and maintained, comprehensive coverage of pipe materials, pressure ratings and dimensions and over 100 illustrations and tables. It is a key resource both for working engineers and engineering students and instructors. |
