Characterization and Modeling of Chlorine Decay in Distribution Systems

Abstract

Determines how chlorine decay and trihalomethane formation depend on distribution system characteristics and operating regimes. Also develops field-sampling protocols to calibrate and verify computer models that can be used industry wide. Includes a Foundation version of EPANET, a computer water quality model. Published in 1996.
