and percolation are also reviewed, both for practical design of water and wastewater
handling facilities.
• Prevention through Design and System Safety—A complete chapter (20) is ded-
icated to prevention through design (PtD), because it is important for readers to
learn about this new strategy. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) is promoting the inclusion of PtD in undergraduate engineering
education, has reviewed this chapter and provided the illustrative examples de-
scribed in Chapter 6, Water Distribution Systems: Components, Design, and
Operation, and Chapter 14, Design of Sewer Systems. In addition, many examples
and applications of these safety issues are given for actual situations in systems
design chapters. Other water and wastewater engineering texts do not address this
important topic.

Student Resources

The following resources are available to students on the book’s website at www.wiley.com/
college/shammas:
• Data Sets—Data sets for all examples and homework exercises in the text are pro-
vided, so that students may perform what-if scenarios and avoid errors due to data
entry during problem solving.
• Access to Design Software—Design software is included with the text and is avail-
able for download from an online source.

Haestad Methods Water Solutions Software by Bentley
Included with this text is access to selected Haestad Methods Water Solutions software by
Bentley. The following software modules are discussed in the text:

• WaterGEMS is used to illustrate the application of various available software pro-
grams that can help civil and environmental engineers design and analyze water dis-
tribution systems. It is also used by water utility managers as a tool for the efficient
operation of distribution systems. See Chapter 7, Water Distribution Systems:
Modeling and Computer Applications.
• SewerCAD is used as a demonstration for the application of modeling and com-
puter techniques in the sanitary sewer design process. See Chapter 15, Sewerage
Systems: Modeling and Computer Applications.
