ABSTRACT
The study of water at rest and in motion in tanks, reservoirs, pipelines, and pumping systems is known as hydraulics.
9.1 INTRODUCTION
A S the chapter opening quote points out, hydraulics is the study of fluids at rest and in motion, essential for an understanding of how water systems work, especially water distribution systems. Although hydraulics is important in gaining understanding of water distribution systems, the principles of hydraulics are also useful for understanding standard practice in treatment, storage, and cross-connection control, which we discuss in other chapters.
