Pipes and Piping Networks

This is a tutorial describing pipe networks and their applications in sewer systems, including information on head loss, equivalent pipe, and flow. All environmental engineers should be familiar with these concepts, and this provides a good review for a portion of the material taught on this subject in an introductory hydrology course. For more information, please see the attached references.
