| UNRWA will resume the backfilling process early next week, said UNRWA spokeswoman Hoda al-Turk. Subjects in the reference manual include hydraulics, surge pressure, external loads, bedding and backfilling, design considerations for installation in various environments, hydrostatic testing and disinfection of mains, pipe transportation and related safety issues, and additional proper installation guidelines.
