Editorial Reviews

Review
This comprehensive, information-rich book for pumping station design consists of twenty-nine chapters and nine appendices. ...The preface to the book's second edition 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 found very useful by engineers and planners, consulting and manufacturing firms, and government and municipal agencies. Additionally, it will be found very useful by educators teaching diverse aspects of environmental and water-resources engineering. ...The reviewer saluted 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 -- Review

The Sanks' Pumping Station design is a mile stone in its field.
Having every aspect covered, Sanks has not only designed his book in a way that is easily readable for the field related people but also made it a basic reference for the people on the management side of it.
Owning such a book is a knowldge in itself !!!!

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!
