Enhanced Water Distribution Model Calibration for IDSE and Operational Fine-Tuning

摘要

In recent years, the water supply industry and general public have become increasingly interested in the quality of water in distribution systems. Correspondingly, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been developing standards that focus attention on the quality of the water at the customer’s tap, in addition to their historical standards that emphasize the quality of water leaving water treatment plants. In particular, the Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR) will require water purveyors to focus on water quality at all points in the distribution system.
