Pumping Station Design, 3rd Edition
Pumping Station Design, is unique in the following ways. It was written by consultants for consultants so as to be of the greatest practical use for designers. Each author is an expert whose writing is based mostly on personal experience. Little of it obtained from, or based on, the existing literature. To make the book more usable and understandable, over 370 illustrations are included together with 59 design examples.Most design examples and all formulas are given in both SI and U.S. customary units. The book is complete enough for the novice and advanced enough to be useful to experienced designers and to those who direct or may be associated with design (such as utility managers, city engineers, or equipment suppliers).
