Synopsis

This comprehensive text discusses the use of water quality models and their potential for enhancing an understanding of the factors that affect water quality in distributed water. Covers current research including the development of the USEPA's EPANET, and discusses its applications to case studies. Outlines the major elements involved in water quality modeling Discusses the development and application of water quality models Presents the results of applying these models: development of storage tank models, and the effects of these tanks on distribution system water quality. Chapter topics include: Distribution system water quality Modeling distribution systems Hydraulic analysis Water quality models Initial modeling studies Modeling total trihalomethanes and chlorine decay Applying water quality models Modeling waterborne disease outbreaks Modeling the effects of tanks and storage Getting started in modeling.

About this title

Synopsis

The requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974 necessitate a greater concentration on the design, operation, and maintenance of U.S. water distribution systems, the authors argue. The techniques, procedures, and information contained here covers modeling the role of biofilms in effecting microbial activity, improved tank designs tha
