WATERBURY, CT -- Haestad Press today announced that its Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management (AWDM) book has earned its place as the definitive reference book for the water supply industry, achieving an Amazon.com five-star cumulative rating from its readers. Since its release, AWDM has been widely adopted by consulting engineers, municipal engineers, urban planners, and government officials, and has been added to the collections of virtually every technical library in the world.
“AWDM is the most practical and useful book in the business,” said Dr. Bruno Brunone of the University of Perugia, Italy. “It is the standard to which all other water distribution references should be compared.” Gloria Mantz of Spokane County Public Works agrees, “This book is a must have reference for any engineering library. It is a great source for anyone designing, operating, or maintaining a water distribution system.”
Adding to its practicality, the book now includes the latest versions of Haestad Methods’ WaterCAD and WaterGEMS software, the industry-standard packages for analyzing, designing, and managing water distribution systems. Engineers and students alike can maximize their learning experience by utilizing the cutting-edge software together with AWDM to perform critical tasks including fire flow and water quality analysis, system design, and master planning.
“Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management has become the ‘go-to’ resource for water distribution modelers,” said Dr. Thomas Walski, Vice President of Engineering for Haestad Methods and co-author of AWDM. “Like Water Distribution Modeling, its predecessor, AWDM consolidates all the essential information engineers need, bridging the gap between fundamental hydraulic theory, research, and hands-on modeling.”
“The concise writing style has also contributed to the book’s popularity by making it accessible to students and young engineers,” added Walski. “At the same time, AWDM provides even the most seasoned professionals with a range of advanced topics and tools to perform system optimization, GIS integration, water system security, SCADA integration, and transient analysis.”
“This is the bible of the water distribution and management field,” concluded Sanath Palipana of Caboolture Shire Council, Australia. “It is unique and comprehensive and both experts and beginners who work in the water distribution and management field should read it. We have this book in our technical library, but I always keep my own copy with me. It makes my day-to-day life easy.”
