The monograph outlines the influence of a cold environment on sanitary engineering works and services. It then deals with water supply in cold regions: sources, distribution systems, treatment processes and possible future supply from other than geological sources. (Author).

Intended to introduce the special principles and practices needed for successful design and construction in cold environments, this comprehensive text examines the adaptation of engineering specialties and disciplines to the particular requirements caused by freezing temperatures. Each chapter includes a section of "First Principles" providing fundamental analysis of cold regions problems. Soil mechanics, hydraulics, thermodynamics, and heat flow are covered in detail.

Introductory technical guidance for civil and mechanical engineers interested in water supply, treatment and storage in cold regions. Here is what is discussed: 1. GENERAL 2. PLANNING UTILITY SYSTEMS 3. WATER SOURCE DEVELOPMENT 4. WATER TREATMENT 5. WATER STORAGE.

This book provides a highly illustrated guide to the design, installation and maintenance of hot and cold water supply systems for domestic buildings. Based on British Standard BS 6700, the new edition takes into account revisions to the standard since the book was first published in 1991. It has also been updated to give guidance on the 1999 Water Supply Regulations and includes revisions to the Building Regulations. Written for designers and installers, this immensely practical book will also be of interest to technical staff of water undertakers, property services managers and students of NVQ and BTech courses. It was specially commissioned by the British Standards Institution and written for BSI by Bob Garrett, formerly of Langley College of Further Education and past President of the National Association of Plumbing Teachers.

Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in water distribution systems in cold regions. Here is what is discussed: 1. GENERAL, 2. SINGLE PIPE RECIRCULATION SYSTEM, 3. ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS, 4. SERVICE LINES, 5. MATERIALS, 6. APPURTENANCES, 7. BACKUP FREEZE PROTECTION.
