Fundamentals of Water Utility Capital Financing (M29)

Third Edition
Adequate financing for infrastructure no longer means looking primarily
to federal or state grant funding sources. Today an effective financial
program may encompass a variety of financing approaches. Written
for both public- and investor-owned utilities, the manual discusses
traditional and innovative utility financing alternatives to meet both
short- and long-term capital requirements. Inflation, growth-related
demands, the impacts of public pressure to keep rates low, and new
financing options are addressed.

Computer Modeling of Water Distribution Systems (M32)

Second Edition
Municipal water distribution systems can be very large and include complex hydraulics networks
of pipes, pumps, valves, and storage reservoirs. In order to understand what is happening in the
distribution system, the operator can build an accurate and detailed virtual model of the sys-
tem using computer software. Computer models can help uncover problems and test different
scenarios to solve them without actually entering or changing the physical distribution system.
The manual will take the reader from an introduction to modeling through data collection, model
design, calibration, and the many uses for distribution system computer models.
