• In-depth coverage of optimization techniques for model calibration, system design, and pump operations.

 
• Advanced water quality modeling topics including tank mixing, water quality solution algorithms, sampling techniques, tracer studies, tank design, and maintenance of adequate disinfectant residuals.

 
• Integration of SCADA systems with water distribution modeling for estimating model demands, initial conditions, and control settings; forecasting system operations; calibrating extended-period simulation models; streamlining water quality analysis; and estimating water loss during a main break.

 
• The essentials of transient analysis including the causes and sources of transients, as well as the potential effects of transients on water distribution systems.

 
• Application of GIS technology for skeletonization, demand allocation, and pipe break analysis; discussion of the technological issues that arise when integrating GIS and water distribution modeling; and the current state of the technology.

 
• Use of models to assess water system vulnerability and security, respond to emergencies in real-time, simulate contamination events, prioritize physical security improvements, and unravel past contamination events.

The included CD-ROM contains the latest version of Haestad Methods’ WaterCAD software (complete with problem data files in both System International and English units), WaterCAD documentation, and interactive tutorials and lessons.
