"A properly designed, constructed and maintained storage tank that is filled with treated drinking water should be capable of providing water that is safe to drink for the full duration of time the water remains in storage and distribution. Poorly-designed water storage, lack of regular inspections, improper cleaning and repair of drinking water storage tanks can pose serious health and safety risks to users/ consumers, increasing the risk of water contamination and/or water quality deterioration during storage"--Introduction, page 2.

The first comprehensive steel tanks book published in more than a decade Developed by members of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) General Steel Tank Committee, Steel Water Storage Tanks: Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Repair is the most authoritative source of industry information available. This in-depth reference describes the use of steel tanks for potable water storage and includes details on tank sizes, capabilities, styles, construction, appurtenances, site selection, design, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, inspection, and security. Complete coverage of: Tank history, typical configurations, locating, sizing, and selecting Selecting and specifying appurtenances Controlling corrosion Contractual considerations Foundations Construction of welded-steel water-storage tanks Construction of bolted-steel water-storage tanks Operation Inspecting new-tank construction Maintenance, inspection, and repair Potable water security Tank rehabilitation

The objectives of this project were (1) to conduct experiments on the mixing and hydrodynamics of jets flowing into water storage tanks, (2) to quantify the extent of mixing in order to compare the effects of different nozzle designs, (3) to determine the effect of density differences on mixing and to determine nozzle designs and the required inlet momentum flux to overcome the effects of density differences, and (4) to provide recommendations for the design of storage tanks that enhance water quality by maximizing mixing.
