Hydraulics for Water and Wastewater Operators - Student Manual

Hydraulics for Water and Wastewater Operators contains 265-pages of core concepts and common hydraulics issues that impact water and wastewater operators. With over 220 illustrations, this text provides visual representations of specific concepts to assist Water Operator understanding and comprehension.

Each chapter or lesson in the book includes sample problems and solutions. This is a valuable reference and training text that provides unmatched ease of application and clarity.

Contents:

  • Hydraulics: The Basics

  • Liquids at rest

  • Flow in closed conduits: Includes Darcy-Weisbach, Hazen and Williams and System analysis as proposed by Hardy Cross
  • Pump hydraulics, including the use of pump curves.
  • Flow in open channels – Includes the use of Ketter and Manning formulas, estimating pipe sizes and flow measurements in open channels. 

Designed with the operator in mind - rather than the design engineer, this text is organized to also follow a twelve-week hydraulics training plan that streamlines with schedules at many community colleges.
