Description:
The Safe Drinking Water Act and its Amendments are posing a major challenge to drinking water utilities in the United States. tilities are being forced to find A balance between minimizing the formation of disinfection by-products while at the same time providing protection against microbial contamination. tilities must also provide sufficient quantities of water to satisfy consumer demands and fire safety requirements. t times, quality and quantity demands may conflict, and a utility may be required to use sources of marginal quality which makes achieving these goals even more difficult. hat has been the situation in which the North Marine Water District in California, has found itself and which has led to the utilities desire to develop and calibrate a water quality model. he model simulated the propagation of Total Trihalomethanes and chlorine residuals in the North Marine Water District (NMWD) distribution system. t was used to evaluate strategies for minimizing TTHM formation while maintaining adequate chlorine residuals in the system.
