This Manual of Water Supply Practices provides utility guidance on how to develop an integrated resource plan for ensuring adequate water supplies to accommodate projected future water demands. Covers all topics of water resources planning: demand forecasting, evaluation of potential new source waters, hydrologic modeling, regulatory issues, environmental impact analysis, public involvement, and economic analysis. Includes sample Integrated Resources Plans developed by water utilities.

Showing professionals how to produce a long-term Integrated Resource Plan for their water utility, this comprehensive manual covers such topics as estimating future water demand, evaluating new sources of water, involvement of stakeholders in the planning process, and dealing with expanding environmental regulations.

"Total Water Management: Practices for a Sustainable Future offers to water utility managers and others involved in the water industry powerful and urgently needed tools to balance needs of water management and the environment. This book serves as an instruction manual for integrating the water needs of society and the environment. It is about the balance between our responsibilities to provide safe and reliable water services and to protect the environment."--Jacket

In this handbook readers will find industry-approved procedures for water utilities to conduct systemwide water audits to assess real and apparent distribution-system water losses, recover lost revenue, and detect and repair pipe leaks.

This in-depth review of water-resources engineering essentials focuses on both fundamentals and design applications.Emphasis on fundamentals encourages readers’ understanding of basic equations in water-resources engineering and the background that is necessary to develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Comprehensive design applications illustrate the practical application of the basic equations of water-resources engineering. Full coverage of hydraulics, hydrology, and water-resources planning and management is provided. Hydraulics is separated into closed-conduit flow and open-channel flow, and hydrology is separated into surface-water hydrology and ground-water hydrology.For professionals looking for a reference book on water-resources engineering.

As more water systems turn to safer alternatives to chlorine gas, the generation of hypochlorite on site has become increasingly common. M65, On-Site Generation of Hypochlorite, presents the principles of on-site generation (OSG), the differences between low-strength and high-strength OSG systems, and the subsequent impact each of these systems has on design, construction, and maintenance for water and wastewater utilities. M65 provides operators and engineering staff with a basic understanding of how to design and install both low- and high-strength OSG systems, how they work, and how they compare with other popular forms of chlorine currently on the market. A cost analysis and an examination of how OSG affects disinfection by-product formation are also included. This manual should help operators, planners, management, and engineers improve their decision-making processes about OSG systems using a holistic risk management approach that considers not only triple-bottom-line approaches but also the specific regional situation when choosing a chlorination system.
