This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of research motivation, understanding the mechanisms driving fate and transport of
contaminants in distribution systems is critical for water security
applications in order to:
assess the public health and economic impacts of contamination incidents;
improve detection methods;
design contamination warning systems;
decontaminate distribution systems; and,
evaluate the performance of mitigation technologies. TEVA-SPOT Sensor Placement Software is presented, along with modeling arsenic oxidation/adsorption, and modeling E. coli. Presentation challenges include the following:
contaminant fate and transport in drinking water
- limited experimental data on
disinfection reactions,
adsorption/desorption rates,
attachment to biofilms;
complex ecosystem, natural organic matter,
corrosion products on pipe walls, and
various pipe materials throughout the system. Includes figures.
