✦ Synopsis

Computer models of water distribution systems are tools that have evolved over time to help water system designers, operators, and managers deliver safe, reliable water at low cost. This manual provides water professionals the basics of distribution system modeling, including information on model preparation, system tests and measurements, steady-state and extended-period simulations, and water quality modeling. It also covers data collection, model design, calibration, and the many uses for distribution system computer models.
