Abstract: A spatial approach that disaggregates the water supply system into the components of acquisition‐treatment and transmission‐distribution, allows these components to be studied in isolation and in combination. Each of these ...

Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974 requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establish maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for each contaminant which may have an adverse effect on the health of ...

Abstract: Interest is growing in determining the quality variations that exist in drinking water distribution systems. This paper is dedicated to understanding distribution‐system quality issues and to the development of a model ...

Abstract: Water quality although acceptable when it leaves the treatment plant may deteriorate before it reaches the user. Changes in quality may be caused by chemical or biological transformations, by a loss of system integrity, ...

Abstract: The “Solver” algorithm, developed as an outgrowth of work on cost allocation in water distribution systems, is a simple technique that solves a number of interesting problems in water distribution system analysis. Problems ...

Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act and its Amendments (SDWAA) will pose a massive challenge for the drinking‐water industry in the United States. As the SDWAA regulations reach implementation, increasing effort will be devoted ...

Abstract: Using geographic information systems (GIS) technology as an underlying platform for hydrologic and hydraulic models provides an effective mechanism for performing large‐area surface water and drainage management studies. ...
