Learn about an overview of drinking water distribution systems, the factors that degrade water quality in the distribution system, assessments of risk, future research about these risks, and how to reduce cross-connection control risk.
This is the fourth edition of the Water System Design Manual. Many Department of Health (DOH) employees provided valuable insights and suggestions to this publication. In particular, we are proud to recognize the members of the group at the Office of Drinking Water who worked over many months to revise this edition of the design manual.
Designing water distribution systems may appear to be a fundamental geometric exercise. Pressurized pipe systems have a high degree of dynamic relevance. Choosing the proper materials for a given environment and specifying the protection methods are important to the design process and project costs.
Drinking water distribution systems connect water treatment plants or water sources (in the absence of treatment) to customers via a network of pipes, storage facilities, valves, and pumps. In addition to providing water for domestic use, distribution systems may supply water for fire protection, agricultural, and commercial uses.
