Modelling the Propagation of Non Conservative Substances in Distribution Systems


Abstract in English

Drinking water although acceptable in quality when it leaves the treatment plant or the supply source, it may undergo changes in quality during the distribution phase before it reaches the consumer. Changes in quality may be caused by chemical or biological transformation, by a loss of system integrity, or by blending of water from different sources.
