Urban looped water distribution systems are highly vulnerable to quality issues. They could be subject contamination events (accidental or deliberate), compromising the inside them and causing damage users’ health. An efficient monitoring system must developed prevent this, supported by a suitable model for assessing quality. Currently, several studies use advective–reactive models analyse qual...

Abstract The chlorine and total trihalomethane (TTHM) concentrations are sparsely measured in the trunk network of Bogotá, Colombia, which leads to a high uncertainty level at an operational level. For this reason, research assessed prediction accuracy for TTHM two black-box models based on following artificial intelligence techniques: neural networks (ANNs) adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference syste...

Large public water utilities currently are required to take several 100 mL water samples every month in their distribution systems and to test these samples for the presence of total coliforms to comply with the Total Coliform Rule. How and where they take these samples is not specified. The Total Coliform Rule is currently undergoing review and revision. One possible revision is more specific ...
