Synopsis
Master the practice of storing and delivering clean water, from the dam that holds it to the pipes that move it.
This book explains the science behind impounding reservoirs, the design of dams, and the safe, economical ways to manage water supplies for towns and industries.
Readers will see how engineers assess strength, stability, and seepage, and learn the methods used to determine reservoir capacity, foundation requirements, and the layout of a complete waterworks. The volume combines theory with practical detail, including how different dam types behave under varying loads and how to choose shapes that balance safety with cost.
- Foundations, stresses, and the essential rules for dam design and safety.
- How to estimate storage, meet demand, and plan for contingencies in water supply systems.
- distinctions between gravity and arched dams, and how geometry affects performance.
- Illustrative discussions of real-world applications and design calculations.
Ideal for students of civil and hydraulic engineering, and for professionals involved in water-supply projects or dam construction.
