It can be thought of as an array of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutmechanics.com\/what-is-pipe-network-analysis.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">piping networks<\/a> and various pieces of equipment taking water from one location and delivering it to another.<\/p>\n<p>As a comparison, the human body has a number of different \u201cdistribution\u201d systems. The circulatory system, for example, distributes blood throughout the body through a series of organs. You can also look at our roadways as a \u201cdistribution system\u201d. You leave your house and follow a path to a destination. In between are turns, signals, signs, etc. Understanding this general description of water distribution systems by no means undermines the complexity of delivering safe and reliable drinking water to consumers. It is merely a broad perspective of the water distribution goal. Take water from one point and deliver it to another.<\/p>\n<p>Many people put little thought into the water treatment and distribution processes. The same might be said with electricity. As long as water comes out of the faucet (tap) when you turn it on or lights turn on when you flip a switch, most people seem content and don\u2019t give the delivery process much thought. However, when the water stops flowing, customers take notice of their water service. Even then, the question is \u201cWhy is my water off?\u201d and \u201cWhen will it be back on?\u201d There still isn\u2019t much thought put into the why?<\/p>\n<p>Or, very rarely are people interested in the process of water distribution when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.water.wa.gov.au\/licensing\/water-licensing\/water-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">water service<\/a> is uninterrupted. The complexities of getting water from its source to the \u201ctap\u201d often go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking water originates from various places, but the largest amount of water on the planet can be found in the oceans. Approximately seventy percent (70%) of the surface of the earth is covered by ocean. This corresponds to approximately ninety-six percent (96%) of all the water on earth. There is just one problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowFullscreen=\"true\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 700px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/water-140-water-distribution-operator-i-alvord--138dkqmmtc?enforceShowPromotionBar=true&#038;p=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17827,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"This textbook introduces basic concepts and processes of drinking water distribution systems, including a general background of drinking water sources, regulations, water system design, and various distribution system appurtenances."},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,210],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17824","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-all","7":"product_cat-technology","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
