About this Book:
Urban water services are building blocks
for healthy cities, and they require complex and expensive infrastructure
systems. Most of the infrastructure is out of sight and tends to be taken for
granted, but an infrastructure financing crisis looms in the United States
because the systems are aging and falling behind on maintenance. A road map for
public works and utility professionals, Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Infrastructure Management, Second Edition provides clear and practical guidance
for life-cycle management of water infrastructure systems.
Grounded in solid engineering and
business principles, the book explains how to plan, budget, design, construct,
and manage the physical infrastructure of urban water systems. It blends
knowledge from management fields such as facilities, finance, and maintenance
with information about the unique technical attributes of water, wastewater,
and stormwater systems.
Addresses how to make a business case
for infrastructure funding
Demonstrates how to apply up-to-date
methods for capital improvement planning and budgeting
Outlines the latest developments in
infrastructure asset management
Identifies cutting-edge developments in
information technology applied to infrastructure management
Presents a realistic view of how risk
management is applied to urban water infrastructure settings
Explains the latest maintenance and
operations methods for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems
The author describes current thinking on
best management practices and topics such as asset management, vulnerability
assessment, and total quality management of infrastructure systems. Expanded
and updated throughout, this second edition reflects the considerable advances
that have occurred in infrastructure management over the past ten years. Useful
as a reference and a professional development guide, this unique book offers
tools to help you lower costs and mitigate the rate shocks associated with
managing infrastructure for growth, deterioration, and regulatory requirements.
