Optimisation of the operation of water distribution systems has been an active research field
for almost half a century. It has focused mainly on optimal pump operation to minimise …

The paper attempts to highlight some of the most important issues that need to be addressed
to 11 provide an integrated system for potable water security, in developed countries. It can …

The present work provides a numerical comparison of different techniques that can be
adopted to guarantee sufficient disinfectant residuals in a water distribution network (WDN) …

Chlorine decay over time and distance travelled poses challenges in maintaining consistent
chlorine levels from treatment plants to demand nodes in water distribution networks …

Predicting free chlorine residual and Trihalomethanes (THMs) in water distribution systems
(DS) is challenging, given the variability and imprecise description of the chlorination …

Chlorine applied at only source provides uneven distribution of residual chlorine at various
locations in Drinking Water Distribution System (DWDS), whereas the booster chlorination …

The optimum location of booster chlorination stations is worked out along with the
scheduling of booster chlorination stations for the steady-state flow conditions for drinking …

Urban water system optimization, eg, chlorine dosage optimization, requires repeatedly
running hydraulic and water quality models, which leads to significant computational and …

Water distribution system (WDS) characteristics can impact drinking water quality. Kinetic
reaction coefficients of residual disinfectant associated with bulk water (kb) and pipe wall …

Residual chlorine concentration decreases along distribution networks because of factors
such as water quality, physical properties of the pipeline, and hydraulic conditions. Hydraulic …
