WATERBURY, CT, June 18, 2002 -- Haestad Press has released its Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management(AWDM), a comprehensive textbook that bridges the gap between theory and practical application for both water resources professionals and students.
"Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management enhances and builds upon the strong foundation laid down by its predecessor, Water Distribution Modeling," said Dr. Thomas Walski, Vice President of Engineering for Haestad Methods and contributing author. "AWDM takes the reader a step further toward mastering the complete water distribution modeling process through detailed treatment of advanced topics such as optimization techniques, integrating GIS and modeling, leveraging SCADA data, and transient analysis."
AWDM also covers many of the other technological advances in the industry, including water security and vulnerability assessments, tank design and mixing, water quality solution algorithms, sampling techniques, and tracer studies.
The vast scope of the book meets the needs of even the most seasoned engineers looking to master the latest technology, yet the trademark accessible writing style and wide use of graphics make the content easy for even students and young engineers to understand. AWDM includes newly released versions of WaterGEMS™and WaterCAD®software.
AWDM is considered the foremost reference for anyone involved in water distribution modeling--its predecessor sold more than 8,000 copies since its release in 2001. Here's what a few of Haestad Methods' clients said about Water Distribution Modeling:
"I have been involved in computer modeling of water distribution systems for 15 years. Haestad Methods' Water Distribution Modeling is the most comprehensive reference resource on hydraulic network modeling. This book is a must-have for anyone engaged in distribution system modeling whether you use Haestad's software or not."
