SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks go to George Kunkel, who has done so much more work on this book than any other co-author, as well as bringing about much positive change in our AWWA LDWA committee. Special thanks go also to Allan Lambert, who has supported our industry and my endeavors for the last 10 years, providing many new and innovative tools to assist in water loss management.

I would also like to extend special thanks to Olinda Everret, my coordinator for this project; Larry Hager, my editor; and Colin Murcray and his team from AWWA, who have all given me excellent support throughout this first book experience.

CO-AUTHORS

Thanks go to Bill Gauley, who tirelessly prepared Chap. 15 while his new baby was being born, and to Dave Southern, Jack Jackson, Brad Brainard, and Rodney Briar, who all submitted subsections of this book.

PEER REVIEW

Thanks go to Allan Lambert, Ken Brothers, George Kunkel, Mark Shepherd, and Tim Brown, who spent time reviewing the material that went into this manual throughout the time it was being compiled.

CASE STUDIES AND ARTICLES

Thanks go to all of the authors of the original case studies and articles presented in this book. These authors are recognized in their individual sections. I would also like to thank all of the water systems which directly and indirectly allowed their data to be published. (Readers are urged to see the original case studies, as some changes have been made during editing.)

A special note of thanks...
