Annotation Water utility managers are in a challenging profession, and managerial leadership is key to successful utility operations. AWWA Manual M5, Water Utility Management, was developed through the collaborative effort of leaders in the utility profession who have successfully met the challenges of managing a water utility. This practical manual covers management issues such as internal organizational structure of typical water utilities, government relations, safety programs, engineering, public relations, and more. Book jacket.

This manual of practice covers public water utility management, designed for new managers, accountants, and supervisors. Second edition.

This guide is for the implementation of water utility management best practices, as set forth in ANSI/AWWA G400 Utility Management System (AWWA G400). The guide will help utility managers understand the new standards.

Updated from the 1996 edition, this manual provides water supply engineers and operators a single source for information about fiberglass pipe and fittings. New in this edition are the addition of metric equivalents; an expanded discussion of pipe mechanical properties with stress vs. strain curves; Buried Pipe Design chapter has expanded discussion of deflections caused by live loads and soil properties, a second method of determining pipe stiffness, and a new equation for pipe buckling; Guidelines for Underground Installation has additional information on soil backfill considerations and minimum trench width, new information on angularly deflected pipe joints, pressure testing, and a new section on trenching on slopes.

The classic guide to water and wastewater engineering returns Water and wastewater engineering is a crucial branch of civil engineering, dealing with water resources and with the challenges posed by water and wastewater. Generations of engineers have developed techniques for purifying, desalinating, and transforming water and wastewater, techniques which have only grown more critical as climate change and global population growth create new challenges and opportunities. There has never been a more urgent need for a comprehensive guide to the management of water and its various engineering subdisciplines. Water and Wastewater Engineering: Hydraulics, Hydrology and Management, 4th edition offers key fundamentals in a practical context to engineers and engineering students. Updated to address growing urbanization and industrialization, with corresponding stress on water and wastewater systems, this vital textbook has been fully revised to reflect the latest research and case studies. This volume focuses primarily with hydrology and hydraulics, along with chapters treating groundwater and surface water sources. Readers of Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Management will also find: • Coverage of water supply, water sources, water distribution, and more • Detailed treatment of both sanitary sewer and urban stormwater drainage • In-depth analysis of infrastructure issues with respect to water resources, pumping, and handling This textbook is ideal for advanced students in civil, environmental, and chemical engineering departments, as well as for early career engineers, plant managers, and urban and regional planners.

Reflecting current safety practices and federal regulations, this illustrated manual for utility managers, supervisors, and safety workers identifies common problems, outlines the basics of safety programs, and describes the equipment, tools, and techniques used for optimizing safety. Particular att
