ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Contaminant Propagation in Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Modeling Distribution‐System Water Quality; Dynamic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...

Impact Evaluation Procedures: Theory, Practice, and Needs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the past 50 years, planning procedures and analytical methods for evaluating social and environmental effects have played an increasingly important role in federal water planning. Yet the impact of these procedures ...
Closure to “<i>Modeling Distribution‐System Water Quality: Dynamic Approach</i>” by Walter M. Grayman, Robert M. Clark, and Richard M. Males (May, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 3)

Toxic Screening Models for Water Supply
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many water utilities in the United States depend upon surface water as their primary source of drinking water. Toxic screening models can be used to provide a means for identifying and assessing the pollutants likely to ...
Modeling Water Quality in Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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, ...
Modeling Contaminant Propagation in Drinking‐Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Modeling Chlorine Residuals in Drinking‐Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mass‐transfer‐based model is developed for predicting chlorine decay in drinking‐water distribution networks. The model considers first‐order reactions of chlorine to occur both in the bulk flow and at the pipe wall. The ...
Modeling Disinfectant Residuals in Drinking-Water Storage Tanks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The factors leading to the loss of disinfectant residual in well-mixed drinking-water storage tanks are studied. Equations relating disinfectant residual to the disinfectant's reaction rate, the tank volume, and the fill ...
