API RP 652 - Linings of Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Bottoms, 2005 Third Edition
Author: American Petroleum Institute | Size: 590 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:01-Aug-2005 | pages: 15
This recommended practice provides guidance on achieving effective corrosion control in aboveground storage tanks by application of tank bottom linings. It contains information pertinent to the selection of lining materials, surface preparation, lining application, cure, and inspection of tank bottom linings for existing and new storage tanks. In many cases, tank bottom linings have proven to be an effective method of preventing internal corrosion of steel tank bottoms.
The intent of this recommended practice is to provide information and guidance specific to aboveground steel storage tanks in hydrocarbon service. Certain practices recommended herein may also be applicable to tanks in other services. This recommended practice is intended to serve only as a guide. Detailed tank bottom lining specifications are not included.

Cost-Benefit Analysis And Water Resources Management
Author: Roy Brouwer, David Pearce | Size: 2.96 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing | Year: 2005 | pages: 404 | ISBN: 1843763591
Book Description:
Publication Date: October 5, 2005
`Water is not just H2O, but has a socioeconomic value for many use and non-use purposes. This volume contains a varied set of very interesting evaluation studies on water resources management. The editors have served the scientific community and relevant policy bodies with a balanced collection of operational contributions to a solid cost-benefit perspective on water management. This book is certainly an eye-opener for anyone interested in the significance of cost-benefit analysis for water policy issues.'
- Peter Nijkamp, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
`The book chapters are written to accommodate readers of various disciplines, using a descriptive analysis of complicated issues to be easily comprehended by non-technical readers. The coverage of the issues is also phenomenal, including application of CBA to flood control, river restoration, river basin management, water quality, ground water, and water allocation, to mention only a few. The group of contributing experts is also very impressive, including authoritative practitioners and academicians, all of whom display a high level of expertise and experience. In a world where water becomes a contested scarce resource, the appropriate use of economic tools in a policy context is a very important goal. This book with its authoritative guidance does contribute to achieving it.'
- Ariel Dinar, World Bank and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, US
`This book provides a solid foundation in the theory and methods of cost-benefit analysis of water resources, along with a wide range of case studies that illustrate the practical aspects of applying cost-benefit analysis. There is much an aspiring cost-benefit practitioner and water resources planner can learn from this volume to improve the economic efficiency of water resource management.'
- John Loomis, Colorado State University, US
`This book offers a unique and very coherent collection of ambitious CBA studies of water-related issues. It can be seen as a showcase of the potential, as well as a test on the limits, of cost-benefit analysis. Given the increasing importance of effective and efficient management of water - in response to water scarcity, water pollution and climate trends - the lessons from this book will be very useful to policymakers and social scientists alike.'
- Jeroen van den Bergh, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
How are the economic values of water and water quality accounted for in policy and project appraisal? This important new book aims to give an overview of the state-of-the-art in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) in water resources management throughout Europe and North America, along with an examination of current applications.
The distinguished authors highlight problems and challenges encountered in the use of CBA in 15 country-specific case studies. Based on these case studies, the value and limits of CBA in water resources management are assessed and special attention is paid to the institutional and policy context in which CBA is carried out.
Cost-Benefit Analysis and Water Resources Management is written for both academics and policymakers interested in the use and usefulness of CBA in water resources management.

Ground Water Recharge Using Waters of Impaired Quality
Author: National Research Council | Size: 5.1 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: National Research Council | Year: 1994 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 0309051428
Book Description:
As demand for water increases, water managers and planners will need to look widely for ways to improve water management and augment water supplies. This book concludes that artificial recharge can be one option in an integrated strategy to optimize total water resource management and that in some cases impaired-quality water can be used effectively as a source for artificial recharge of ground water aquifers. Source water quality characteristics, pretreatment and recharge technologies, transformations during transport through the soil and aquifer, public health issues, economic feasibility, and legal and institutional considerations are addressed. The book evaluates three main types of impaired quality water sources--treated municipal wastewater, stormwater runoff, and irrigation return flow--and describes which is the most consistent in terms of quality and quantity. Also included are descriptions of seven recharge projects.

Dear admin, honorable moderators and group members of CivilEA family,
Greetings!!!!
I would like to draw your attention to a point regarding the topic mentioned in the heading of this post. Many of our members sometimes ask for a MSc and PhD thesis relevant to their works. Even, some of us sometimes upload the important MSc and PhD thesis/dissertations, which is now available in a thread under the section "General Books".
But my suggestion to all of you that if there is a new section under the "General Books" category named "Civil Engineering MSc and PhD thesis", then members would be able to upload their works in that section independently as well as based on the members' demand.
Today, when I tried to upload a PhD thesis (now published as a book from CRC press), then I got this point in my mind, which I thought to share with all of you. I hope you will consider this issue for further actions.
Thanks in advance for your attention and time in this regard. Wish you all the best.
