Description
Water quality in the distribution system (DS) can be very dynamic and variable as a result of changeable hydraulics and the interaction of the water with the pipe walls. Water quality is also impacted by the initial quality produced by the water treatment plant (WTP). Understanding the unique interaction between WTP and DS water quality that occurs in any water system is an important part of having a cohesive optimization strategy.
Hydraulic models have over the past 10 years undergone a transformation from providing simple static calculations for design purposes, to now providing powerful simulation capability for water system water quality. The movement and fate of parameters such as disinfectant residual, disinfection by-products or the disturbance of latent sediments can now be predicted and simulated, allowing operators to view and understand how water quality can shift and change over time and according to the location within the DS.
This presentation will provide an engaging overview of water quality and operational modeling, including how the field has emerged, how are they built, and how and why they are being used today to help support operational and capital decision by municipalities across Canada.
