Welding Print Reading is a write-in text that teaches the welding symbols and specifications students need to understand to be successful. Logically organized with good graphics and charts, the format allows students to apply their knowledge to skill-based print reading activities. In addition to aspiring welders who want to learn to interpret prints and drawings, the content is appropriate for students wanting to pursue careers in engineering and drafting. The text starts by reviewing the basics, including welding processes, and then progresses to more specialized topics, such as prints for pipe welding and brazed joints. Real industry prints in the units, plus additional prints and questions at the end of the text, provide students with more practice opportunities. Electronic print files of the drawings are available in the Instructor Resources for in-class demonstration and flexible use.

Exploring Drafting is designed for use in introductory courses as it stresses fundamental skills appropriate for beginning drafting students at any instructional level and teaches both manual and CAD drafting skills. Coverage includes basic geometric constructions, orthographic projection, and dimensioning practices. Techniques and procedures used in creating Multiview drawings, sectional views, pictorial views, and pattern developments are taught. The end-of-chapter drawing problems help student build problem-solving skills and practice drafting techniques. The text follows ASME practices and serves as an ADDA approved publication.

Design a rainwater harvesting system for any home in any climate. Water is a crucial resource increasingly under stress. Yet rainfall, even in arid climates, can make up a sizable portion of any home, acreage, or farm's water requirements if harvested and utilized with care.

Water saving is an important aspect civil engineering and building design around the world. Alternative water sources as well as water saving appliances have been studied by many researchers in order to maximize water savings in buildings and promote building design that favours water savings. This volume explores topics related to water savings: rainwater tank sizing and modelling, wastewater treatment and reuse, relationships between user behaviour and water savings, health issues related to water savings and environmental analysis of rainwater and grey water use in buildings.Water Savings in Buildings is a handy resource for researchers, post-graduate students, undergraduate students and engineers working in water utilities, environment agencies and associated industries interested in understanding the basics of implementing systems to achieve water savings in buildings.

This book comprises components associated with smart water which aims at the exploitation and building of more sustainable and technological water networks towards the water–energy nexus and system efficiency.
