M33 provides information about the most common flowmeters used in water treatment and custody-transfer applications, including the Venturi, modified Venturi, orifice plate, electromagnetic, turbine and propeller, transit-time ultrasonic, vortex, averaging Pitot, and averaging insertable electromagnetic. The discussion of these meters covers basic theory, installation and maintenance. General concepts applicable to flowmeters are also covered, including flow characteristics, performance issues, communication, information and signal outputs, and flowmeter selection.

Water meters are the cornerstone of commercial systems for water utilities throughout the world; revenue is directly derived from the, figures provided by meters. Despite this, little attention has been paid, in terms of selection, replacement period and return on investment, to the management and optimization of water meters. Integrated Water Meter Management is a comprehensive reference for engineers and managers alike, providing: in-depth technical information allowing the true nature and behaviour of meters to be understood; a comprehensive review and comparison of relevant global water meter technologies - a useful tool to help decide which water meter is best for your utility; discussion of key decisions concerning the use of water meters (when to replace them, which one to use, how to control their quality) from a managerial perspective. Integrated Water Meter Management is an invaluable resource for those involved in urban water management, including water utility managers, engineering technical staff, operations and maintenance specialists, meter-reading personnel and scientific researchers in this discipline.

Twort's Water Supply, Seventh Edition, has been expanded to provide the latest tools and techniques to meet engineering challenges over dwindling natural resources. Approximately 1.1 billion people in rural and peri-urban communities of developing countries do not have access to safe drinking water. The mortality from diarrhea-related diseases amounts to 2.2 million people each year from the consumption of unsafe water. This update reflects the latest WHO, European, UK, and US standards, including the European Water Framework Directive. The book also includes an expansion of waste and sludge disposal, including energy and sustainability, and new chapters on intakes, chemical storage, handling, and sampling. Written for both professionals and students, this book is essential reading for anyone working in water engineering. - Features expanded coverage of waste and sludge disposal to include energy use and sustainability - Includes a new chapter on intakes - Includes a new chapter on chemical storage and handling

The development from inception through initial operation of four major TVA water control projects in the upper or northeastern part of the Tennessee Valley - Watauga, South Holston, Boone, and Fort Patrick Henry, collectively designated Upper Holston - is presented in this technical report, The Upper Holston Projects. Improvement of the minor Wilbur project immediately below Watauga is included as an appendix. The manuscript was compiled from basic planning, design, construction and other development of the projects and comprises a record of the more important facts concerning the planning, design, construction, costs, and initial operations of these projects by the TVA.
