Features: This book can serve as a reference for engineering technicians, managers, and construction personnel engaged in water supply engineering, environmental engineering, and urban construction. It can also be used as a teaching reference for teachers, undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. The content of the book is primarily research achievements and cutting-edge technologies in this field. The author combines theoretical analysis and engineering practice of water distribution network systems, optimization design, and practical applications, while incorporating the latest concepts and achievements from abroad. It is a theoretical monograph. Network modeling is a new concept for network analysis. The book comprehensively explains the technical process of network modeling, model verification methods, and model maintenance, establishing a systematic framework for network modeling. Optimization is a key topic in network systems. The book discusses the "practical optimization" design concept for expansion and renovation, as well as the concept and significance of "practical optimization scheduling." It introduces two new concepts: "pipe hygiene" and "growth rings," and explains the changes in network water quality and water quality calculations based on these concepts. These new ideas and arguments will require dedicated effort to apply and develop network system theory. The accompanying CD-ROM demonstrates the operation guides for the main computer application software in the book, thereby extending, deepening, and enriching the core content of the book.
