When water leaves a treatment works and travels through a distribution system, its quality, with respect to many chemical and biological parameters, will degrade. The quality of the delivered water will be largely influenced by:
The water industry has focused predominantly on the quality of treated water and the physical condition of distribution assets when improving the quality of water at the customerﾒs tap. However the quality of the water delivered is also affected by the time the water is retained in the different elements of the distribution network. Retention time is controlled both by the physical characteristics of the system and the operational regime. Physical characteristics such as pipe roughness may change throughout the life of the asset or be modified by rehabilitation.
The aim of this research is to demonstrate that water quality within distribution networks can be managed effectively by controlling retention time and to develop practical and pragmatic methodologies for doing so.

Case Studies of Modified Treatment Practices for Disinfection By-product Control
Utilities must decide whether to modify their existing treatment practices to achieve compliance with the D/DBP regulations. A regulatory impact analysis predicted that up to 70% of large surface-...
Disinfectant Decay and Corrosion: Laboratory and Field Studies
The primary objective of this research was to develop and test a pipe-section reactor to measure the decay rate of disinfectant at the pipe wall. The pipe-section reactor is more convenient than...
Advanced Water Treatment of Estuarine Water Supplies
Estuarine waters are an important source of drinking water for people living along the coasts. These waters tend to exhibit high concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM), bromide, salts,...
