The document discusses key considerations for designing an efficient and sustainable water supply system, including: 1) The system must be designed to achieve appropriate water pressure and flow throughout while avoiding contamination. Pipe sizing, layout, and choice of materials affect pressure and flow.
Valves are used in water supply systems to start and stop flow, to throttle or control the quantity of water, to regulate pressures within the system, and to prevent backflow. Valves are typically operated using manual, electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic operators.
This course provides an introduction to selecting water sources and determining water requirements for developing suitable sources of supply from ground or surface sources. 1.2 APPLICABILITY. These guidelines are applicable to the selection of water sources and planning and designing supply systems. 1.3 REFERENCES.

The following information is typically included in these manuals: descriptive literature (catalog cuts and data sheets); parts lists; instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and repair; performance data (i.e., pump performance curves); electrical diagrams; and schedules of required lubricants and chemicals.
Sustainable urban development must focus on the relationships between water, energy, and land use, and often on diversifying sources of water to assure reliable supplies. Integrated urban water management (IUWM) provides both a goal and a framework for planning, designing, and managing urban water systems.
