Features: "Water Supply Engineering" is a national-level "Nineth Five-Year Plan" key teaching material. The book consists of 24 chapters, divided into five parts. The first part, "General Theory," primarily covers: the composition and layout of water supply systems; calculation of design water demand; flow and pressure relationships among various components of the water supply system. The second part, "Water Transmission and Distribution Engineering," mainly includes: layout of pipelines and open channels; calculation of flow rate, pipe diameter, and head loss in pipe sections; hydraulic calculations for pipelines; technical and economic calculations for pipelines; energy analysis and design of zoned water supply systems; water pipe materials, accessories, and pipeline auxiliary structures; technical management of pipelines. The third part, "Water Intake Engineering," covers: an overview of water resources and water supply sources; groundwater intake structures; surface water intake structures. The fourth part, "Water Treatment," includes: water quality and reactor principles; coagulation; flocculation and clarification; filtration; disinfection; iron and manganese removal from groundwater; fluoride removal; activated carbon adsorption for micro pollutant removal in water; surface water treatment plant design; water softening; desalination and seawater desalination. The fifth part, "Water Cooling and Circulating Cooling Water Quality Treatment," covers: the principles of water cooling and cooling structures; water quality treatment for circulating cooling water. The book emphasizes the rigor of fundamental theories and concepts, integrates theory with practice, and incorporates new theories, technologies, and equipment from domestic and international water supply engineering. The content is presented in an accessible yet systematic and logical manner. The book also includes numerous examples, exercises, and thought questions to help readers deepen their understanding of the material. This book is intended as a teaching text for water supply and drainage engineering majors in higher education institutions and can also serve as a reference for professionals engaged in the design, construction, management, and research of water supply, drainage, and environmental engineering.
