Whole Life Costing for Water Distribution Network Management
This indispensable book presents a unique and robust solution to the problems faced by operators of efficiently investing in deteriorating water distribution networks everywhere. The deterioration of these networks affects the quality of service delivered to customers, as well as increasing costs to the service provider through the decreasing efficiency of the infrastructure. Whole life costing (WLC) aims to achieve the lowest network provisions and operating cost, when all costs are considered to achieve all statutory standards.
Hydraulic Modelling
The use of physical models remains an integral part of proving the design of many hydraulic structures, often leading to savings in construction costs, improved efficiency and safety, and avoidance of future operational problems. Mathematical models are also essential to the design of new hydraulics, particularly for the study of large systems or the effect of a structure on a large system. The limitations of mathematical models are continuously decreasing as the power of computers and computational techniques increases, however, the need for cross-validation, either from physical models or from field data, remains.

Gwathmey Siegel
Rizzoli's second monograph on this distinguished New York firm. This sequel presents the exquisite residential work for which the firm is so justifiably renowned: from private apartments in Manhattan to houses in Switzerland and California. Also shown are cultural and institutional works. The volume also covers the firm's recent corporate work.--Back cover of book jacket.
Metrology in Urban Drainage and Stormwater Management
This book presents the advancements made in applied metrology in the field of Urban Drainage and Storm water Management over the past two decades in scientific research as well as in practical applications. Given the broadness of this subject (measuring principles, uncertainty in data, data validation, data storage and communication, design, maintenance and management of monitoring networks, technical details of sensor technology), the focus is on water quantity and a sound metrological basis. The book offers common ground for academics and practitioners when setting up monitoring projects in urban drainage and storm water management. This will enable an easier exchange of results so as to allow for a faster scientific progress in the field. A second, but equally important goal, is to allow practitioners access to scientific developments and gained experience when it comes to monitoring urban drainage and storm water systems. In-depth descriptions of international case studies covering all aspects discussed in the book are presented, along with self-training exercises and codes available for readers on a companion website.
