Abstract
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) has given special attention to the problem of water hammer and pressure surges. The district, which supplies the coastal plain of Southern California, has experimented successfully with corrective devices on its 242‐mile Colorado River aqueduct and 440‐mile distribution system. MWDSC has demonstrated that water hammer pressures can be controlled by the careful design of a pipeline, the selection of appropriate equipment, and the adequate programming of control devices. It is certainly desirable to control water hammer during the design stages; corrective steps, however, can be taken if excessive water hammer pressures are experienced during operation of a system.
