Hydraulics for Firefighting
Author: William F. CrapoPublisher: Delmar Pub
ISBN: 9781418064020
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This revised edition of Hydraulics for Firefighting effectively teaches hydraulics by addressing the underlying science in a basic, understandable way. Each chapter builds on the last in the author's logical, systematic approach. The book is ideal for college level courses correlating with the course objectives of the Fire and Emergency Services in Higher Education (FESHE) model curriculum, but is also an excellent solution for fire departments and fire academies training new pump operators. The simplification of this complex subject, including the updating of formulae, makes the text usable for both rookie and veteran firefighters, and those preparing for promotional examinations. New features of this edition include: steps of pump operation, testing fire pumps, calculating hose lengths for foam eductors, and an expanded rural water supply section.

In addition to these applications, the text contains a number of numerical problems and a reading aid at the end of each chapter to enhance student learning.
Hydraulic City
Author: Nikhil AnandPublisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822373599
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
In Hydraulic City Nikhil Anand explores the politics of Mumbai's water infrastructure to demonstrate how citizenship emerges through the continuous efforts to control, maintain, and manage the city's water. Through extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Mumbai's settlements, Anand found that Mumbai's water flows, not through a static collection of pipes and valves, but through a dynamic infrastructure built on the relations between residents, plumbers, politicians, engineers, and the 3,000 miles of pipe that bind them. In addition to distributing water, the public water network often reinforces social identities and the exclusion of marginalized groups, as only those actively recognized by city agencies receive legitimate water services. This form of recognition—what Anand calls "hydraulic citizenship"—is incremental, intermittent, and reversible. It provides residents an important access point through which they can make demands on the state for other public services such as sanitation and education. Tying the ways Mumbai's poorer residents are seen by the state to their historic, political, and material relations with water pipes, the book highlights the critical role infrastructures play in consolidating civic and social belonging in the city.
