Publisher's Synopsis
Analysing a water distribution network may be necessary to know its behaviour under normal and deficient conditions and the design of a new network. This book highlights the various methods such as Hardy Cross, Newton-Raphson, Linear Theory, and Gradient for static and time-dependent (extended period) analyses and describes them with small illustrative examples. The book also considers withdrawal along links, head-dependent and performance-based analyses, calibration of existing networks, water quality modelling, analysis considering uncertainty of parameters, and reliability analysis of water distribution networks.
