Urban Water Distribution is a comprehensive training material used in the Master of Science program in Urban Water and Sanitation at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education. This program attracts professionals from over forty predominantly developing countries across the globe, representing a diverse audience. While the book is primarily designed for those with limited knowledge about the subject, it can also serve as a valuable refresher for experts dealing with advanced problems. Additionally, teachers in this field can utilize some of the contents in their educational programs.

The book's main focus lies in understanding the steady-state hydraulics that form the foundation of hydraulic design and computer modeling applied in water distribution. The workshop problems, along with three computer exercises, aim to enhance participants' temporal and spatial perception of the key hydraulic parameters within the system, considering specific layout and demand scenarios. Furthermore, the book delves into a detailed discussion on water demand, a fundamental aspect of any network analysis, and provides an overview of general principles of network construction, operation, and maintenance.

Packed with nearly 700 illustrations, the book offers a visual representation of the concepts discussed. Additionally, the accompanying electronic materials contain all the spreadsheet applications and the network model files used in solving the workshop problems and computer exercises, making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike.

This book is the second volume in the Introduction to Urban Water Distribution, 2nd Edition series, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of urban water distribution principles and practices.
