In a society where sustainable development is advocated by all levels of government, we need to realize the importance of drinking-water distribution, rainfall collection, and sewage networks as urban infrastructures. Installation is costly but rehabilitation or reconstruction costs can be much higher. Drinking-Water Distribution, Sewage, and Rainfall Collection provides engineers and civil engineering technicians with modern tools needed to design water conduits with adequate capacity. It also provides the means to select materials and equipment that meet the needs of the population as well as those of the industrial and business communities. By following the designated methods and applying modern standards of design and installation, urban hydraulic specialists can build infrastructures that provide higher quality service to users. This book targets professors and students of civil engineering as well as practising engineers and technicians in consulting firms and municipalities.
