Summary: Scale Model
Review: The book appears to present the information in a logical format that doesn't get too bogged down with derivations and other technical presentations that tend to complicate things. I've been out of school for 20+ years so I don't want to see differential equations or other formulas as presented in standard textbooks. The book helps with modeling by categorizing the topics for easy reference. It also helps when taking Haestad's monthly Civil Quizes.

Summary: An excellent Water Distribution Modeling book
Review: After I have read through the contents of this book, I think I must recommend it to all people who involve in water distribution field. It is a textbook suitable for both professional engineers and engineering students. Its contents include the basic theories of water distribution modeling and the practical operations such as testing of water distribution systems and calibration of the models created by WaterCAD. Common problems that will be encountered in water distribution system and their corresponding solutions have also been discussed in the book. So what are you waiting for? Buy it!
I am sure what you gain from this book is far more than what you have paid.

Summary: Water Modeling in Brazil
Review: This book is a reference for everyone who works with water distribution all over the world. Here in Sergipe, Brazil, we are having the opportunity to develop many cities water systems using the book and WaterCad. It is clear, objective and complete. A very important tool for those who work at project and operational areas.

Summary: Excellent for both Reference & Learning
Review: This book has lots of great information for anyone who works in water distribution. There are great explanations of the theories and the commonly used processes, plus examples on how to apply real world data in your model. The information provided in this extensive book apply to all water distribution modeling, not just Haestad's. Highly recommended for all water professionals.

Summary: How to Distrubute Water in 9 easy Lessons
Review: What makes a good textbook or technical reference book? Is it a book that provides the right balance between theory and practice? No! It is the book that connects the two. It explains the theory by illustrating it through the practice and its development. It also will connect the parts and show how they complete the larger picture.
It's the same in design. The tools we use, the formulas, the programs, design concepts have to fit into the larger whole to meet the clients need. "Water Distribution Modeling" accomplishes this. It has all the standard items in other textbooks, formulas, constants, etc. It has practical examples for tables and limits. But the book excels at blending these items together into a usable format that will allow you to learn new aspects for design or to use it for review and the quick reference.

Summary: Clear and easy-to-follow
Review: I found Water Distribution Modeling to be a handy reference book - clear and to the point, with excellent diagrams and pictures, that enabled even the uninitaited to follow through some of the more complex theories.
It will be very useful guide for the beginnner and the more adavnced engineers, partiularly with the use of the CD-Rom.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is a fantastic reference for anyone who does distribution modeling. Until now, I've used a compilation of texts that each contained a chapter or two on distribution modeling. It's great to now have a single book with extensive information on modeling. I ordered this book the first week it came out, and have not been disappointed.
