Modeling a Water Distribution System - What to Tell Your Engineer
Modeling a water distribution system has become more useful and affordable for small and large systems. This presentation summarizes the important information that the person setting up the model needs to know to create a model that accurately reflects the system. Examples are included to show how small details that may not be included in the model have significant impact on the model results. The presentation was presented at the Northeast Section Meeting of the Missouri Water and Wastewater Conference on April 8, 2008 by Dennis E. Stith, P.E.

City Design Standards
City Design Standards can provide criteria to ensure uniform development of public infrastructure. Adopting design standards, along with adequate construction inspection and compliance, can address many issues that will avoid or minimize operational and/or maintenance problems for the City and residents. The KC APWA Modified Design Standards are reviewed for content and how you can modify them to fit your needs. The topic was presented at the MPUA Spring Technical Conference on May 24, 2007 by Stephen Baker, P.E.
