Description

A water engineer specializes in the planning, design, and management of water-related infrastructure and systems. They are responsible for addressing various aspects of water management, including water supply, treatment, distribution, wastewater management, and stormwater control.Water engineers play an important role in optimizing water resource utilization, managing water quality, and mitigating the impacts of water-related challenges like scarcity, pollution, and climate change. Their expertise is essential in providing communities with reliable and sustainable water supply and treatment systems.This course has been prepared to assist engineers with the hydraulic design of precast concrete conduits. It is hoped it will also be useful in the field of engineering education. It consolidates information from several sources and presents it in a practical and usable form. The first section is a precise treatment of theoretical hydraulic concepts used in the manual. It should be used when necessary to assist with the understanding of the subsequent subjects. The remaining five sections consider the practical design aspects of individual subjects, namely, runoff, culverts, drains, sewers and pressure pipes. Each of the latter sections concludes with worked examples which may be used as models for many practical problems. If more detailed information is required, references are listed at the end of each section.
