Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This is a best practice manual for addressing water losses in water distribution networks worldwide. Systems and methodologies are presented for improving water loss and leakage management in a range of networks, from systems with a well-developed infrastructure to those in developing countries where the network may need to be upgraded. The key feature of the manual is a diagnostic approach to develop a water loss strategy - using the appropriate tools to find the right solutions - which can be applied to any network. The methods of assessing the scale and volume of water loss are outlined, together with the procedures for setting up leakage monitoring and detection systems. As well as real losses (leakage) procedures for addressing apparent losses, by introducing regulatory and customer metering policies are explained. Suggestions are made for demand management and water conservation programmes, to complement the water loss strategy. Recommendations are made for training workshops and operation and maintenance programmes to ensure skills transfer and sustainability. The manual is illustrated throughout with case studies. Losses in Water Distribution Networks will appeal to a wide range of practitioners responsible for designing and managing a water loss strategy. These include consultants, operations managers, engineers, technicians and operational staff. It will also be a valuable reference for senior managers and decision makers, who may require an overview of the principles and procedures for controlling losses. The book will also be suitable as a source document for courses in Water Engineering, Resource Management and Environmental Management. Globally, water demand is rising and resources are diminishing. Water loss from the distribution network has long been a feature of operations management, even in countries with a well-developed infrastructure and good operating practices. As well as leakage ('real' losses), there are other losses from the network (apparent losses) that can often be reduced by the introduction of a regulatory framework and customer metering and charging policies. Such programmes can run alongside initiatives to tackle leakage and improve the pipe network. Together, these programmes form a strategy for restoring a potentially huge lost resource. Losses in Water Distribution Networks: A Practitioners Guide to Assessment, Monitoring and Control provides the key to developing a water loss strategy. It presents a diagnostic approach, followed by the implementation of solutions that are both practicable and achievable, and which can be applied to any water company, anywhere in the world to develop a water loss management strategy. The aim of the book is to allow water network operators to: .understand the significance and assess the scale of water loss components; .quantify the volume of losses by measurement or estimation; .become aware of the various techniques to monitor and control leakage; .select the appropriate network management practices and equipment to support the techniques; .develop a strategy for a particular network by considering the economic and other factors relevant to the local conditions and infrastructure; .design a leakage management and control system appropriate to local conditions and constraints; .be aware of the operation and maintenance and training requirements to sustain the policies and practices once in place. Losses in Water Distribution Networks: A Practitioners Guide to Assessment, Monitoring and Control will be of interest to water network operators, consultants, and other industry practitioners who are about to embark on a water loss management programme, or who wish to review their existing procedures.
