This manual on water distribution is the second in a series of four training courses for water utility personnel developed under the supervision of AWWA Committee 4260 M‐Education. The first manual of the series, published in 1959, was devoted to the subject of water utility management; the remaining two manuals currently being developed relate to water treatment and to sources of supply. This manual was prepared as a practical guide for operating personnel and should find application as a text in in‐service training or for independent study. This article presents Chapter 1, Distribution System Capacity, and covers the following topics: water uses and losses; estimation of demand; fire flows; pressure requirements; unaccounted‐for water; expansion of service areas; and, main extensions.
