美国陆军工程兵团开发了许多改进的方法来解决各种供水问题。MAPS（区域范围规划研究方法）计算机程序，可用于为管道、泵站、大坝、水处理厂、井场、地表水进水口、储罐、隧道和明渠准备初步设计和成本估算，以选择最佳管道尺寸，并对实施节水措施的成本和有效性进行了估算。讨论了用于内部腐蚀控制的列线图和微机程序，以及帮助评估配水运行和维护的信息。参考书目提供了适用于饮用水行业的报告和手册清单。 包括30篇参考文献。

The US Army Corps of Engineers has developed a number of improved methods for addressing a variety of water supply problems. The MAPS (Methodology for Areawide Planning Studies) computer program, which can be used for preparing preliminary design and cost estimates for pipelines, pumping stations, dams, water treatment plants, well fields, surface water intakes, storage tanks, tunnels, and open channels, for selecting optimum pipe sizes, and for estimating the cost and effectiveness of implementing water conservation measures, is described. Nomograms and a microcomputer program for internal corrosion control and information to assist in evaluating water distribution operation and maintenance are discussed. The bibliography provides a list of reports and manuals applicable to the drinking water industry. Includes 30 references.
