Hydraulic Design Books 3

[Roadbuilder]

I am interested in purchasing some good Design Books for Storm Water, Sewer, and Potable Water. I am having trouble finding books that give detailed real world examples and commentary using the applicable codes. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for the help.

Try Metcalf & Eddy Wastewater Engineering

Metcalf & Eddy Collection & Pumping of Wastewater

Pumping Station Design Robert L. Sanks

Buried Pipe Design, A. P. Moser

Thanks bimr, I will look into the books you have recommended.

On the stormwater front look into:

Stormwater Collection Systems Design Handbook, Larry W. Mays

Applied Hydrology, Chow/Maidment/Mays

There are others but at a minimum the first one is good to have on the shelf. The Hydrology one is always a great source, but if I narrow it down to one it would be the collection design.

 

[cvg]

open channel hydraulics, Chow
handbook of hydraulics - Brater and King

I'm not sure any of these give "commentary using the applicable codes"

"Environmental Engineering" vol.1. Don't have information on the author but can find it. I used it during my last semester.

I'd suggest separating those topics into water and sewer (while the flows are generally much larger, the design of stormwater conveyance is very close to wastewater collection). Water distribution hydraulics is obviously much more complicated than gravity flow situations...I think Haested Methods used to have a good book on water distribution. All of the books previously mentioned are good.

If i had to narrow it to three, I'd say the M&E wastewater collection and pumping, any undergraduate level hydraulics book, and I think Haested methods has a book for water distribution design. It's tough to narrow it though.

As cvg mentioned, Chow and B&K are both classic hydraulic texts, but real world examples aren't their intent.

I highly recommend "Design Hydrology and Sedimentology for Small Catchments" by CT Haan, BJ Barfield, and JC Hayes.
