Description
American Water Works Association,US Water Quality in the Distribution System 2005 Edition by William C. Lauer
Drinking water quality can degrade as the water travels through the distribution system. This book describes causes of water-quality degradation in the distribution system and provides solutions to all common water quality problems.Information is organized into nine sections:1. Introduction -- Five critical steps to achieving and maintaining distribution system water quality2. Microbiological Issues -- Control of biofilm growth and eliminating pathogens in the distribution system3. Chemical & Physical Issues -- Maintain disinfectant residuals and reduce disinfectant by-products.4. Chloramine Conversion Issues -- Gain the benefits of chloramines as a residual disinfectant, while controlling nitrification and taste-and-odor problems.5. Corrosion Control -- Minimize or eliminate the effects of pipeline corrosion on water quality.6. Rapid or Real-Time Monitoring -- Optimize distribution system operation and water quality, even as conditions change.7. Operational Practices -- Distribution system operation strategies that will assure pristine water quality all the way to customers' taps.8. Flushing to Maintain Water Quality -- Flushing practices to preserve water quality.9. Water Quality Computer Modeling (Computer-Aided Network Analysis) -- Accuratly predict changes in delivered water quality caused by changes in treatment or distribution operations.
