More copies of this ISBN:A Handbook of Gravity-Flow Water Systems for Small Communitiesby Thomas D. Jordan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This handbook is written with the intention of collecting together all the knowledge, theory and practices necessary for the surveying, designing and construction of gravity-flow drinking water systems for rural communities. Although the book was originally written specifically for the construction of such systems in Nepal, most of the principles presented here are applicable in a great variety of locations around the world. Efforts have been made to organize the material for quick reference, and to present it in a manner that allows overseers form both engineering and non-engineering backgrounds to understand it quickly and easily. The author emphasizes the fundamental principles of design, illustrated with several general examples of successful structures, rather than presenting strict and inflexible 'standarized designs'. Given the ruggedness of many developing areas in need of gravity-flow water systems, it is his belief that standarized designs may not always be perfectly feasible but that someone who understands the principles of the designs can modify them to fit the location. Synopsis:Originally written for the construction of gravity-flow drinking water systems in Nepal, this book is equally applicable for other locations around the world. Organized for quick reference, it is quickly and easily understood. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
