- Summary
- "Written for both professionals and students, this book is essential reading for anyone working in water engineering." "Water Supply has been the most comprehensive guide to the design, construction and operation of water supply systems for more than 40 years. The combined experience of its authors and large numbers of contributors make it an unparalleled resource for professionals and students alike." "This new sixth edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest water quality and technical standards and the structure of the book now gives increased emphasis to environmental aspects, in particular the European Water Framework Directive and the critical issues of treatment waste and distribution system water loss reduction. Coverage of reservoirs and of equipment such as valves and instrumentation has been extended."--Jacket.
