Author Description

Water Supply Engineering has maintained an established reputation in the educational and engineering fields. It has served as an invaluable reference for practicing engineers; waterworks operators and managers of waterworks utilities; and has helped guide thousands of students in advanced courses. The book discusses in great detail almost all phases of public water supplies, and covers in practical and specific terms the applications of science and art to the solution of problems in the design, construction, operation, and management of waterworks and the treatment of water. Included is a new and comprehensive chapter on management, a subject of increasing importance in engineering education and to the engineer. It contains a summary of principles and applications in the waterworks field in particular and to all public utilities in general. Also included is an explanation of the mathematical principles of finance and the application of these principles to utility financing. all chapters have been thoroughly revised, clarifies, and rearranged with new pertinent information and new sections added.
