In this book, readers can find different approaches that include safety analysis, system efficiency improvements, and new innovative designs. The risk function is a measure of its vulnerability level and security loss. Analyses of transient flows associated with the most dangerous operating conditions, are compulsory to grant system liability in terms of water quantity, quality, and system management. Specific equipment, such as air valves, is used in pressurized water pipes to manage the air inside, associated with the emptying and filling process. Advanced tools are developed toward near-future smart water grids. The water system efficiency and water-energy nexus, through the implementation of suitable pressure control and energy recovery devices, as well as pumped-storage hydropower, provide guidelines toward the most technical and environmental cost-effective solutions. Integrated analysis of water and energy allows more reliable, flexible, and sustainable eco-design projects, reaching better resilience systems. Hydraulic simulators and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), conjugating with field or experimental tests, supported by advanced smart equipment, allow a better design, control, and complex event anticipation occurrence to attain high levels of water system security and efficiency. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aair valve 610 $aair-water interface 610 $aCFD 610 $acomputational fluid dynamics (CFD) 610 $adecision making model 610 $adimensional analysis 610 $aenergy production 610 $aenergy recovery 610 $aentrapped air 610 $aenvironmental flows 610 $aEPANET 610 $aexperiments 610 $afailure risk analysis 610 $afilling 610 $aflow 610 $aflowmeters 610 $ahydraulic characterization 610 $ahydraulic transients and CFD analyses 610 $ahydropeaking 610 $ahydropower plants 610 $aleakage reduction 610 $amicro-hydropower 610 $anew design solutions and eco-design 610 $aoptimization 610 $apipe system efficiency 610 $apipelines 610 $apressure reducing valves 610 $apumped storage power plants 610 $apumped-storage 610 $apumping system 610 $apumps as turbines 610 $areservoirs 610 $aresilience 610 $arisk 610 $arisk assessment methodology 610 $asafe water 610 $asafety and control 610 $asafety of water supply consumers 610 $asmart water grids 610 $asmart water management 610 $atransient 610 $atrunk network 610 $aultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV) 610 $awater distribution network 610 $awater distribution networks 610 $awater drinking network 610 $awater losses 610 $awater management 610 $awater networks 610 $awater supply system 610 $awater systems efficiency 610 $awater-energy nexus 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aRamos$b Helena M$4edt$01295536 702 $aCarravetta$b Armando$4edt 702 $aMc Nabola$b Aonghus$4edt 702 $aRamos$b Helena M$4oth 702 $aCarravetta$b Armando$4oth 702 $aMc Nabola$b Aonghus$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557544703321 996 $aNew Challenges in Water Systems$93026806 997 $aUNINA
