Concerns about water quality and possible intentional
contamination of water distribution systems are
making online monitoring an increasingly important
priority for many water utilities. The authors used a
suite of modeling tools to develop a practical and
defensible approach to detecting both security-related
contamination events and natural water quality
changes in drinking water distribution systems.
The authors' conclusions demonstrate the value of
using a modeling approach when monitoring locations
are selected. These conclusions can help a utility
develop a defensible approach to water quality
monitoring in its distribution system. Use of a
modeling approach to monitor location selection
optimizes the use of utility dollars while maximizing
public health protection. The presentation of actual
on-line data is illustrative of the need to provide
this type of monitoring to better understand both
treatment and distribution system
processes. Includes 14 references, tables, figures.
