Master the Latest Techniques to Quantify, Locate, Control, and Prevent Water and Revenue Loss in Water Utility Operations

This comprehensive guide takes you step by step through every stage of the development of a water loss control program-from measuring and auditing water loss, tracking losses to their root cause, to developing a loss control program for future efficiency. Inside, you'll find precise descriptions of the most current methodologies and technologies, along with tables and figures presenting key information clearly and concisely. This second edition brings innovative approaches to water loss management, with information on new modeling methods, leak detection equipment, revenue protection programs, and best practices advocated by the American Water Works Association and the International Water Association.

Includes:

• Updated U.S. and international standardized water audit methodologies
• Step-by-step guide to creating an effective water loss control program
• Guidance on data collection, validation, and component analysis of water supply and customer consumption volumes
• Detailed description of available intervention tools against real losses
• Detailed description of available intervention tools against apparent losses
• Innovations in automatic meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that will transform accountability in the water supply industry
• Integrated technologies to optimize water distribution system operations
• Detailed descriptions and case studies of successful water loss control and intervention programs
• Comprehensive glossary of terms

Two of the main concerns in respect of water supply systems are their efficiency and their reliability, which are fully discussed in the present book, grouped into five sections: 1. Fundamentals. 2. Leakage Detection in Networks. 3. Network Management: Leakage Control. 4. Managing Water Distribution Systems to Reduce Energy Costs. 5. Reliability, Risk Analysis and Rehabilitation.
A well balanced approach has been achieved by inviting contributors from academia as well as consultancies and water supply companies.
Audience: Water supply engineers in companies and consultancies, civil engineers interested in water supply systems. This book can also be used in courses on efficiency and reliability of water supply systems.

The goal of Leakage in Nanometer CMOS Technologies is to provide ample detail so that the reader can understand why leakage power components are becoming increasingly relevant in CMOS systems that use nanometer scale MOS devices. Leakage current sources at the MOS device level including sub-threshold and different types of tunneling are discussed in detail. The book covers promising solutions at the device, circuit, and architecture levels of abstraction.

Manifestation of these MOS device leakage components at the full chip level depends considerably on several aspects including the nature of the circuit block, its state, its application workload, and Process/Voltage/Temperature conditions. The sensitivity of the various MOS leakage sources to these conditions are described from the first principles.  The resulting manifestations are discussed at length to help the reader understand the effectiveness of leakage power reduction solutions under these different conditions.

Case studies are presented to highlight real world examples that reap the benefits of leakage power reduction solutions.  Finally, the book highlights different device design choices that exist to mitigate increases in the leakage components as technology scales.
