The Least Cost Design of Water Distribution Networks Using Water Quality Constraints

Water quality is a very important issue related to people health, but it is not usually considered in water distribution networks (WDNs) design. In this paper, new constraints such as free residual chlorine and the quality performance index are incorporated into the least cost design of water distribution networks. EPANET2 was applied for the hydraulic and quality analysis of water distributio...

Measurement of Fluoride Concentration in Semnan Drinking Water Distribution

Background: The existence of fluoride ion in potable water has distinctive effects on human health. Fluoride is attracted by positively charged calcium in teeth and bones due to its strong electro-negativity which results in dental, skeletal, and non-skeletal forms of xuorosis and associated health complaints in children as well as adults. Methods: Water samples from groundwater used for dri...

Security Issues in Drinking Water Distribution Networks

This paper formulates the security problem of sensor placement in water distribution networks for contaminant detection. An initial attempt to develop a problem formulation is presented, suitable for mathematical analysis and design. Multiple risk-related objectives are minimized in order to compute the Pareto front of a set of possible solutions; the considered objectives are the contamination...
