This collection of exercises has over 320 images designed to walk you step-by-step towards the modeling of water distribution systems which are commonly found in development work. You will learn how to load cartography and background images; to determine water demand and spatial allocation; to simulate the evolution of water quality in networks and to make economic comparisons, while avoiding the most common costly mistakes. This manual will help you make informed decisions for achieving clear and measurable results in development projects interventions. Epanet is a free and widely used software from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency that models the hydraulic and water quality behavior of water distribution piping systems.
This book shows you how to use a GPS and Google Earth to create simple and expressive maps to share on the web like the one shown on the cover. With a reading time of a mere 10 hours you will learn to work with a GPS without making mistakes, to use it with Google Earth including in areas without internet access and to quickly create diverse interactive maps that other people can see and modify over the internet without the need for experts or unnecessary complications. Even though it has been written in the context of Relief and Development work, the same process is valid for whatever other application.
Generators are an essential part of many projects and give rise to a very significant expenditure. This book introduces you to them from the management perspective. It is not about turning you into an electrician or a mechanic but about choosing the most suitable generator for your project and running it in the most economical way possible. You will learn how to improve existing installations, determine the power required, make informed choices between the different available options, oversee key aspects of the installation and avoid wasting energy that compromises the sustainability of the projects.
This manual aims at walking the reader through the design of a water supply network in a Development context by explaining in a simple manner how to build and analyze a computer model of a water network with Epanet. Epanet is a free and widely used software from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency that models the hydraulic and water quality behavior of water distribution piping systems Arnalich Water and Habitat is an organization that helps improve the impact of humanitarian actors through training and consultancy in the fields of Water Supply and Environmental Engineering.
This book will provide you with the tools for designing drinking water systems and doing the calculations by hand. With minimal theory and through 28 progressive exercises, the most common scenarios are introduced one by one: branch lines, joining multiple sources, valley passes, pressure zones and even looped systems. You will learn how to decide on pipe diameters, check an existing design or plan a system enlargement, following simple, quick and reliable guidelines to achieve clear and tangible results for gravity flow water projects.
Tackling a Gravity Flow Water Project for the first time? This book is intended to get you on your feet quickly. You'll learn how to select pipe sizes, work out the demand you need to meet, interpret topographic surveys and perform economic calculations to compare different alternatives. Besides producing a sound design, it will help you to get to grips with the materials, put in orders, supervise the building work, and most of what you will need in your quest for access to safe water.
Los generadores son una parte imprescindible de muchos proyectos a la vez que generan unos gastos muy importantes. Este libro te introduce en ellos desde la perspectiva de la gestion. No se trata de hacerte instalador electricista o mecanico, sino de elegir el generador mas conveniente para tu proyecto y hacerlo funcionar de una manera lo mas economica posible. Aprenderas a mejorar instalaciones existentes, determinar la potencia necesaria, elegir de manera informada entre las distintas opciones disponibles, supervisar los aspectos claves de la instalacion y a evitar derroches de energia que comprometan la sostenibilidad de los proyectos."
Este libro pretende ponerte en pie rapidamente. Aprenderas a seleccionar tuberaas, averiguar la demanda a satisfacer, interpretar estudios topograficos o hacer calculos economicos para comparar alternativas. Te ayudara a familiarizarte con los materiales y realizar pedidos, comprender la funcion y las posibilidades de los distintos componentes y dimensionarlos, supervisar los elementos fundamentales de la obra sin olvidar el calculo hidraulico para que el agua llegue a todos los puntos con la presion deseada."
Con la minima teoria y a traves de 28 ejercicios progresivos, se van introduciendo poco a poco las situaciones mas frecuentes: ramificaciones, union de fuentes, paso de valles, zonas de presion e incluso el calculo de mallas. Aprenderas a determinar el diametro de tuberias, comprobar algun diseno existente o planificar una ampliacion de una manera sencilla, rapida y fiable, para lograr resultados claros en los proyectos de agua por gravedad
En apenas 4 horas de lectura podras decidir sobre la viabilidad del sondeo, seleccionar la bomba y generador necesarios, familiarizarte con la funcion y las posibilidades de los distintos componentes, realizar pedidos de material con precision y supervisar los elementos fundamentales de una instalacion. Todo ello explicado de forma sencilla, practica y cronologica.
Este libro te muestra como usar un GPS y Google Earth para crear mapas sencillos y expresivos como el que se muestra en la portada para compartir en la red. Con una lectura de apenas 10 horas, aprenderas a trabajar con un GPS sin errores, a usarlo junto con Google Earth incluso en zonas sin acceso a internet y a crear rapidamente diversos mapas interactivos que otras personas pueden ver y modificar a traves de internet sin necesidad de expertos ni complicaciones innecesarias. Aunque se plantea en el contexto de la Cooperacion al Desarrollo, el mismo procedimiento es valido para cualquier otra aplicacion.
Esta coleccion de ejercicios comentados y resueltos paso a paso en mas de 320 imagenes, te introducira progresivamente en el calculo de las redes de agua mas frecuentes en Cooperacion al Desarrollo. Aprenderas a incorporar cartografia, determinar la demanda y localizarla en el espacio, simular la evolucion de la calidad del agua y comparar economicamente distintas alternativas evitando los errores de diseno mas frecuentes.
En este manual se explican de manera sencilla y amena los aspectos basicos para disenar una red de abastecimiento de agua con Epanet y se discuten muchas cuestiones relacionadas para llevar los proyectos a buen puerto. Se pretende que con su lectura, seas capaz de disenar las redes mas comunes en Cooperacion al Desarrollo, tomar decisiones informadas y obtener resultados claros en las intervenciones."
