Abstract Details

2001, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Environmental Engineering.
The effect of the distribution system on water quality seems complex. Water demands and average residence times change continually, and chlorine residuals depend on these changing residence times as well as changes in temperature, pH, and organic matter characteristics caused by distribution system hydraulic dynamics. Furthermore, these changing physical/chemical conditions inherently affect the formation of regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs). The research focuses on a water distribution system in eastern Kentucky, which is fed by a 5 MGD conventional treatment plant. The field study was conducted in two phases. A 24-hour hydraulic field sampling event was performed to provide basic data for characterizing the system hydraulics and for understanding the kinetics of chlorine decay and DBP formation. A 48-hour water quality sampling event was conducted using the utility's four regulatory sampling locations, augmented by 15 locations designed to sample representative water from storage tanks, dead-ends, and different pipe materials and ages.
