URBAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

URBAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Introduction Conventional water supply systems: water supply wells, dams, water distribution systems, water storage, fire control, water quality in distribution networks, network analysis, transients. Conventional sanitary collection systems: usual infrastructure, pump stations, water quality transport modelling. Conventional stormwater systems: normal stormwater infrastructure, best management practices. AutoCad Drawings	Introduction to these lists: In this page I attempt to list the very large array of infrastructure used in urban water systems. As a starting point I have selected devices from several handbooks used in North America, and listed them below. Water supply sources Artesian well Pumping well Bored, Clear, and Drilled wells Intakes Submerged crib intake Screened pipe intake Reservoir and Lake intakes Storage Reservoirs and dams Elevated storage tanks (steel and concrete) Ground level storage tank Fire and emergency storage Pumps High lift pump Low lift pump Pumphouses Chambers Air relief chambers Manholes Valve chambers Valve boxes and stems Anchors Thrust Restraint Thrust block Friction anchor Pipes Sanitary sewer Storm sewer Forcemains Watermain Asbestos cement pipe Cast iron pipe (un) lined Concrete pipe Ductile iron pipe (un) lined Flexible and rigid pipes Milled steel (un) lined Polyvinyl chloride pipe Heated pipelines Insulated pipes Joints Cast coupling Flanged joints Restrained joints Service connections Victaulic coupling Welded joints Fittings Bends Tees Crosses Reducers Couplings Sleeves Vents Hydrants Water meters Valves Air relief valve Ball valve Butterfly valve Control valve Gate valve Drain and scour valves Pressure control valves Check and reflux valves Foot valves Tide gates and valves

Conventional water supply systems: [water supply wells and dams, water distribution systems including network analysis and water quality issues, water storage tanks and reservoirs, fire control devices, analysis and control of transients.] Two books were used to list components of water supply infrastructure: American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992. Pressure Pipeline Design for Water and Wastewater. American Society of Civil Engineers, New York. McGhee, Terrence J. 1991. Water Supply and Sewerage. McGraw-Hill Inc., New York. From Pressure Pipeline Design for Water and Wastewater: Air chamber Air release valve Asbestos cement pipe Bends Blow-off h ydrants Cast iron pipe Cavitation Centrifugal pumps Check valves Concrete pressure pipe Concrete thrust block Continuous pipelines Control valves Corrosion protection Dead-end pipes Displacement pumps Distribution pipeline blow-offs Dynamic pumps Excess flow activated valves Fiberglass pipe Fire hydrants In-line surge suppression Isolation Valves Non-slam check valves Pipe casings Pipe Pipe fittings Pipe joints Pipe materials Pipelines Polyethylene pipe Polyolefin pipe Polyvinyl chloride pressure pipe Pump station Pumps Relief valves Steel water pipe Surge anticipation valve Surge relief valve Surge tank Surge valve Thrust block Thrust restraint Seismic valve Vented surge tank Water Hammer Water meter From Water Supply and Sewerage: Air piping Aqueduct Aquiclude Aquitard Artesian well Backflow preventer Double check valve Belt filter Blowoff branch Broad crested weir Chlorinator Clarifier Clear well Compressor, centrifugal Dam Diffuser Distribution system Dosing tank Filter Fire hydrant Fire pump Gooseneck Joints Mains Membrane filter Meter Motor pumper Orifice plate Pipe asbestos cement cement lining corrugated metal cast iron plastic steel threaded Pipe joints ball bell and spigot Pump Pumping station Reservoir Siphon Valves Air relief Air-vacuum Backflow preventing Box Butterfly Check Foot Gate Vacuum breaker Venturi Weirs Contracted weir Rettger weir sharp crested weir Submerged weir Suppressed weir Triangular weir V-notch weir

Conventional sanitary collection systems: [usual infrastructure, pump stations, water quality transport modelling.] The list that follows was taken from: American Society of Civil Engineers, 1982. Gravity Sanitary Sewer Design and Construction. American Society of Civil Engineers, New York.

	4. Conventional stormwater systems: normal stormwater infrastructure, best management practices. Three textbooks were used to list components of water supply infrastructure: Debo, Thomas N. And Reese, Andrew J., 1995. Municipal Storm Water Management. Lewis Publishers, London. American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992, Design and Construction of Urban Stormwater Management Systems. American Society of Civil Engineers, New York. American Society of Civil Engineers. 1986. Design and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers, New York.
