Description:
This paper reviews the use of models for predicting water quality in distribution systems. esults of an extensive field study conducted by the USEPA and North Penn Mater Authority are examined. A case study of the model application to a waterborne disease outbreak in Cabool, Missouri is presented. he application and extension of the model to the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (SCCRWA) is discussed. t may be concluded that models can be used to predict water quality changes and human exposure in drinking water distribution systems. ased on field studies, water quality can vary widely over a short time in a given place. ank operations can have a significant impact on water quality. s standards become more stringent system design have had to be reconsidered in order to meet water quality objectives.
