Summary: A practical guide to water distribution modeling
Review: This book provides a concise reference for Engineer's to reference for various water distribution modeling problems. It is superior to theoretical texts in that the subject matter gets right to the point on calculations and key elements involved in water distribution modeling. It is a great book for consultants, as it reduces research time, ie. it is an excellent single reference resource.

Summary: WDM becomes the Water Distribution text for Banning Eng.
Review: Water Distribution Modeling has quickly become the water distribution modeling text for Banning Engineering. It is a complete resource that is easy to use and understand. We have used it to re-vamp our water distribution modeling procedures and have used it to develop one of our "Lunchtime Training" series classes on water distribution. We recommend it highly!

Summary: A Water System Engineer's Modeling Companion
Review: This book is much more than a book on modeling. It can be referenced by any technically qualified individual who is interested in a clear approach to understanding how a well designed water system is built, operated and maintained. It is a handsomely bound volume that should certainly be on the reference shelf of any waterworks engineer who is actively involved with the design, maintenance, or operation of water systems.

Summary: Excellent Reference
Review: The book is an excellent resource for the professional involved with water distribution. The book presents everything from bulk reactions to model calibration to demand asignment. It is presented in a simple yet comprehensive manner with sufficient tables and figures to make it a very useful reference.

Summary: Calibrating Hydraulic Networks
Review: The first edition of Water Distribution Modeling was extremely important in helping develop a hydraulic model operations and procedures manual for our municipal clients. Chapter 6 - Calibrating Hydraulic Network Models, was particularly helpful. It provided useful infromation to help determine model accuracy, sources of errors, and various calibration techniques and approaches. The book is a must for all hydraulic modelers as a reference and we use it exclusively to help train and familiarize our new engineer's with hydraulic modeling. I would recommend this book to all engineers interested in water system modeling as well as those interested in modeling sewer force main systems.

Summary: Great Practical Knowledge
Review: This book includes a host of practical knowledge that can be directly applied to both theoretical and actual problems.Working with system modeling is made much easier, with the help of the information provided in this book. It takes you through several decision making steps that will help explain the distribution system modeling variables, and help you with practical applications for what is right in your situation. It is a good read for both water distribution modeling novices and veterans alike.

Summary: Teaching Old Dog New Tricks
Review: I had been out of the water distribution design field for several years and had not had opportunity to utilize updated information and models. The "Water Distribution Modeling" book has helped to me to recover past knowledge lost and to become updated on new modeling procedures. This Book has been a big help.
Rating:
Summary: Engineering Library Must-have
Review: This comprehensive water modeling reference answers the questions that your software's help files do not. Clearly written with plenty of examples, illustrations, photos, and diagrams (even cartoons!), you won't put this book down while you are working on your model. This book has been, and continues to be, extremely helpful as we develop and CALIBRATE our system. The information inside was very practical and applicable to me as an engineer.

Summary: TJ's Review
Review: I found Water Distribution Modeling very helpful. It went into more detail and explained the aspects of modeling and water distribution in general much better than the user's manual. I highly recommend any serious modeler to make this purchase. I found it very helpful for explaining the process of developing a system head curve for modeling pumps in parallel. The book really simplified the process to something that I could understand.

Summary: An Excellant Resource
Review: This book is one of the best water distribution system design resources that I have ever seen. It really helped answer some difficult questions.
