Performance of a Pumping System Handling Water Hyacinth

The textbook "Performance of a Pumping System Handling Water Hyacinth" offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges and solutions in managing water hyacinths through the use of pumping systems. The authors, Sadek Z. Kassab and Ahmed A. Abdel Naby, analyze the mechanical control of water hyacinths and the necessity of developing effective control strategies that take into account both infestation levels and socioeconomic conditions. A central theme of the book is the issue of transporting water hyacinths, which poses economic challenges due to their high water content of nearly 95%. The study proposes innovative approaches, such as the use of chopper pumps, which are employed in industrial and municipal applications to enhance the efficiency of pumping solids-laden slurries. This book is a valuable resource for professionals and students dealing with the technical and economic aspects of water hyacinth control.
