Summary: Most used book
Review: This book offers a variety of essential information. From the history of the technology, to theory, to equations and fundamentals, to everything necessary to produce functional defensible models. All engineers as well as water system operators should own a copy of this text. This is my most used reference.

Summary: Review of Advanced Water Dist Modeling and Management
Review: Hastead Method's new book entitled Advanced Water Distribution System Modeling and Management is an excellent expansion and extension of its previous book, Water Distribution Modeling. I found the previous book extremely helpful and utilized it many times in my work. The new voulme has been expanded to inculde such important topics as: model skeletonization, demand allocation using GIS, water quality sampling and calibration, integration of modeling and SCADA systems, Genetic-algorithm-based calibration and design, modeling of variable-speed pumps,water system security and hydraulic transients, use of flow emitters and the integration 0f GIS with hydraulic modelng. I expect to use this new text extensively and stongly reccomend it to both beginning and experienced engineers.

Summary: AWDM is the best book in water supply engineering
Review: This is the best water distribution systems book as I know. It tells us about the water history, hydraulic theory and real engineering samples. It is the very good hand book for us to do modeling and engineering. I have to admit the authors are the super experts in this area, especially the up to date technology, such as, GIS, SCADA, Simulation, etc.I strongly suggest that you own one for your currently and future works.

Summary: Most complete water resource modelling book ever written...
Review: This is not your ordinary professional textbook. I normally use these type of books to help me sleep at night, but I find myself reading the chapter after chapter of this Advanced Water Distribution Book. It is more than a reference textbook with it's history timelines, cartoons, practical problem sets, interesting tidbits of info, and so forth. I especially enjoyed the chapters on transients, GIS, and Water Quality.
