Water Distribution System Handbook

Good book. But, binding is terrible. I had it for less than a year, already it is coming apart. I am disappointed in this binding because it has very good content for engineers in this field. I want it to last.

This book is a great one-stop reference for engineers and designers involved in water distribution or piping networks. The topics are covered in sufficient detail, and if more information is needed, the relevant source is usually listed (e.g. AWWA publication # xxx) so the in-depth source can be found quickly.

Didn't cover the information I needed.

I haven't read it yet but it looks like it does have a lot of information on the trade along with tips as I skimmed through the pages?

Larry W. Mays has yet again done a magnificent job in compiling what seems to be the first handbook in the market that identifies the works done by practitioners and researchers in the field to enhance the applicability of theory to real life systems. The handbook compiles outstanding chapters written by authors in the forefront of the industry and academic institutions. From simple hydraulic analysis of a distribution network to the treatment of more theoretically involved and unquestionably important aspects of rehabilitation/reliability of the exixting systems, the handbook excels in drawing the readers' attention. The contributions by researchers, graduate students and industry affiliates makes this a handbook to keep!
