- Summary:
- Water quality modeling is a powerful tool to help in understanding the processes and factors that influence water quality in potable water distribution systems. Updated and expanded from the 1998 edition, this book will help you set up a realistic mathematical simulation of your distribution system and your water quality to let you determine the fate of contaminants as they travel through the distribution system. Chapters outline the major elements involved in water quality modeling and the development of applications of water quality models.
