Abstract: Properly designing contamination warning systems requires an understanding of potential public health impacts for a range of contaminated water systems and a wide range of contaminants. To address this need, we determined ...

Abstract: The quantity of a contaminant ingested by individuals using tap water drawn from a water distribution system during a contamination event depends on the concentration of the contaminant in the water and the volume of water ...

Abstract: A contamination event in a water distribution system can result in adverse health impacts to individuals consuming contaminated water from the system. Assessing impacts to such consumers requires accounting for the timing ...

Abstract: Network model detail can influence the accuracy of results from analyses of water distribution systems. Previous work has shown the limitations of skeletonized network models when considering water quality and hydraulic ...

Abstract: Contamination warning systems (CWSs) for drinking water distribution systems (WDSs) are used to reduce the potential adverse effects of intentional or accidental WDS contamination. They are designed on the basis of possible ...
