Water Distribution Modeling

Summary: A Comprehensive Professional Companion
Review: This book is a must have for water distribution professionals (engineers and scientists). It is not just another manual for WaterCAD users! I recommend it for anyone who is involved in or simply interested in state-of-the-art water distribution modelling. The simplicity with which it presents hitherto 'complex' modelling techniques is worth mentioning. Advanced methodologies such as water quality modelling, genetic algorithms (GA) and geographic information system (GIS) are so simply presented that instant modelling skills can be picked up readily. Above all, everything is presented in one comprehensive book.

I am proud to be an owner of this wonderful professional companion.

Summary: Water Distribution Modeling
Review: The main feature of a "Water Distribution Modeling" book is the coverage of all the parts and principles of the modern water distribution system. it can be successfully used as a text book. Not going into specifics, it gives a sufficient knowledge in a number of subjects, such as fluid mechanics and dynamics, material properties, modeling and simulation, etc.
In addition to that, "Water Distribution Modeling" can serve as a handbook for a system engineers, while dealing with planning, operation and rehabilitation of the network. Several practical issues are discussed in detail and advises are given.
In conclusion, "Water Distribution Modeling" can save both your time and space on your book-shelf.

Summary: I recommend this book
Review: I took advantage of a special offer to purchase Haestad's Water
Distribution Modeling book. The book is very well structured and contains a wealth of information. This book gave me the opportunity to review basic water distribution engineering principles and to learn more about the advanced water distribution topics.

Excellent reference book for the junior to more senior water distribution modeler.

Summary: Water Distribution Modeling
Review: I have reviewed the "Water Distribution Modeling" book as well as the included WaterCAD software and I was able to find fast and precise answers to problems related with water distribution, hydraulics, and water quality.

I would like every professional in the Sanitary, Hydraulic, or Environmental industry in every country, as in the Dominican Republic, to have the opportunity to obtain this valuable tool.

It could also be extremely helpful in Academic Institutions oriented towards Civil or Environmental Engineering.

Congratulations for such a great product.
