This book bridges the gap between classical fluid mechanics and the applied, technology-based material in other literature on gravity-driven water networks. In addition to placing the analysis of gravity-driven water networks on a sound fundamental footing, the book presents original design graphs formulas, and computational algorithms for the fundamental problem of pipe sizing for a single-and multiple-pipe gravity-driven water systems. The book combines theoretical design formulas for water flow in a single or multiple, uniform- or non-uniform-diameter pipe networks with detailed case studies to illustrate the problems and solutions of creating a concrete gravity-driven water pipe network, and how to maintain its functionality under a variety of environmental and geological pressures.
