Review

Reviews of the Second Edition:

"This comprehensive, information-rich book for pumping station design consists of twenty-nine chapters and nine appendices ... The preface vividly expresses the editor-in-chief's passion and devotion to the goal of preparing an immensely informative book on pumping station design. I believe that the editor-in-chief and his colleagues have achieved that goal admirably ... This book will be very useful to engineers and planners, consulting and manufacturing firms, and government and municipal agencies. Additionally, it will be used by educators teaching diverse aspects of environmental and water-resources engineering ... The reviewer salutes the editor-in-chief, the co-editors, and the many contributors for their effort in preparing a book that contains a great wealth of knowledge of direct importance for pumping station design." - Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, August 2000

"A unique and comprehensive text that should find a place on the bookshelf of all concerned with pumping facilities.a truly excellent publication."
- World Pumps

"Practitioners in any discipline related to pumping station design should henceforth be compelled to read this book."
- The Institute of Water and Environmental Management Journal

This book has nearly 200 authors and contributors. Despite the vast array of experts who contributed to this work, it reads seamlessly. The chapters are fairly well balanced with respect to subject relevance and importance, and the writing style is consistent throughout the entire text.-Joseph M. Giavito, Water Environment & Technology, March 2007

This review is from: Pumping Station Design, Third Edition (Hardcover)

One of the most comprehensive books in the area I have ever seen. I like its approach with guidelines of how to use it depending on the type of user.
It combines advices on mechanical, civil and electrical aspects obtained on years of experience of the authors (more than 100 specialist from the academy and industry).
A huge effort fron the editors. If you like the subject and want one bible-like book, this is it!

A great reference book that deals with all design aspects related to pumping stations. Furthermore, there is extensive information concerning procurement and commercial issues. The book is clear even when it goes into detailed information and should be considered as a must have for every engineer working in this field.
