Water and wastewater conveyance: pumping, hydraulics, piping, and valves
Water and Wastewater Conveyance: Pumping, Hydraulics, Piping, and Valves provides fundamental, basic information on the conveyance of water and wastewater. Written in straight-forward and easy-to-understand language for professionals and non-professionals alike, it provides the techniques to assist water and wastewater operators to better understand basic pump operations and applications, maintenance regimens, and troubleshooting procedures. Addressing a multitude of water quality issues, it provides an introduction to water hydraulics, piping systems, tubes, hoses, and ancillaries as well as valves, and the maintenance requirements of each. It also discusses common operational problems and their appropriate corrective actions. Definitions of key terms and self-examination questions are provided at the end of each chapter.

Designing pumping and conveying equipment and systems is a science; maintaining and operating them can be considered an art. This is not a pump design book; it discusses limited conveyance engineering aspects, but it is not an engineering text. This book does not focus on the higher mathematics and science involved with pump design and pump engineering. This book focuses on the components related to the conveyance of water and wastewater; moreover, it discusses the art of operating and maintaining pumping and ancillary equipment.
