Summary: Water Distribution Modeling Explained
Review: This book provides a very informative broad overview of various topics related to developing, understanding, and trouble-shooting water distribution models. Easy to follow diagrams and examples are supplemented by the theory and technical equations that define water distribution. A great reference, not only for water distribution modelers, but for anyone who deals with water distribution issues.

Summary: You need this book.
Review: If you are involved with water distribution modeling, you must have this book. Even if you are have no background in water distribution modelling, the simplicity with which it presents modelling techniques makes it easy for anyone to follow. Advanced methodologies such as water quality modelling, genetic algorithms and GIS are so simply presented that instant modelling skills can be picked up readily. Best of all, it can all be found together in one comprehensive book.

Summary: a must have book for civil site consultants
Review: This is a must have book for civil site consultants. The book is well orgainized and very insiteful. It is the first book I open when I have a question about water distribution modeling. I highly recommend the purchasing of this book if you are in any way connected to the water distribution field.

Summary: Priceless Knowledge
Review: Not only is this a very informative text on water distribution modeling, but the educational version of WaterCAD that is included provides for hands-on modeling exercises and also basic background use of one of the most popular and powerful software packages around. The knowledge acquired from this book - both from the text and the software exercises - is invaluable. This combination is well worth the price.

Everyone in my office wants to take this book off of my shelf!

Summary: Great Hands On Manual
Review: This book better yet "HandsOn" Manual is a must for all municipal systems. Its practical yet detailed and for me, a none engineer has provide much in the way of background on the subject of distribution systems.

Summary: Basics and Advanced
Review: From the introduction to water distribution to explanations about why modelling is important to more specific problems and details, this book is for every level of professional. Beginners will find where to start. Experienced users will find obscure details they may have overlooked.

And to top it off, it comes with the software that allows readers/users to earn continuing education credits.

This is a valuable tool for office collections as well as for libraries looking to fill in gaps in their water engineering collections.

Summary: Water Distribution Modeling - A must have reference text
Review: This is a great reference. It covers not only the modeling theory for new systems but also existing systems that may need expansion or upgrading. I frequently refer to this text because it covers all aspects of water distribution from the hydraulic side to water quality. This is must have reference in any civil engineering office. It is also bound well and easily found amongst my other civil engineering reference texts. It is also a great buy for the price in comparison to other reference texts.
