DOWNLOAD EBOOKTackling a Gravity Flow Water Project for the first time? This book is intended to get you on your feet quickly. You'll learn how to select pipe sizes, work out the demand you need to meet, interpret topographic surveys and perform economic calculations to compare different alternatives. Besides producing a sound design, it will help you to get to grips with the materials, put in orders, supervise the building work, and most of what you will need in your quest for access to safe water.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book discusses the issues and stages in the development of water supplies, from the initiation of a programme through to the community management of a supply system. The importance of involving all the members of a community in decisions about water provision is emphasised, as is the need to incorporate hygiene education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany of the world's population lives in villages and rural areas without access to safe water sources or basic sanitation. This guide has been developed as part of the 'healthy villages' project to improve the health of rural communities by promoting local awareness and actions by community groups. It covers topics including: water and sanitation, drainage, waste management, housing quality, domestic and community hygiene, and provision of local health services.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWater and Wastewater Management in the Tropics provides the necessary conceptual framework and tools to assess all appropriate aspects of water and sanitation projects in developing countries. Using the lessons learned from courses taught at the Technical University of Denmark, Water and Wastewater Management in the Tropics is the concerted effort of a broad team including "hard core" engineers and practitioners as well as "soft core" environmental and institutional planners and economists, with contributions from renowned researchers as well as seasoned project managers. The first part of the book aims to give a basic understanding of international projects and addresses how to identify, formulate, select, organise, cost, finance, implement and manage water and wastewater management projects in developing countries. Later chapters focus on three different types of water and wastewater management projects in a tropical context: rural water and sanitation; urban water and wastewater management; and, industrial water and wastewater management. Water and Wastewater Management in the Tropics will appeal to graduate environmental engineering students but also to practitioners, economists, sociologists, and institutional planners working with water and sanitation projects in developing countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis textbook teaches how to design drinking water systems and to do the calculations by hand. With minimal theory and through 28 progressive exercises, the most common scenarios are introduced one by one: branch lines, joining multiple sources, valley passes, pressure zones, and looped systems. Following simple, quick and reliable guidelines to achieve clear and tangible results for gravity flow water projects, the reader will learn how to decide on pipe diameters, check an existing design, and plan a system enlargement.
