Dynamic Contaminant Identification in Water
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe how we plan to convert a traditional data collection sensor and ocean model into a DDDAS enabled system for identifying contaminants and then reacting with different models, simulations, and sensing strategies in a symbiotic manner. The sensor is just as useful in water as it would be on Mars for material identification. A successful terrestrial application of the sensor will lead to many new applications of the device and possible technology transfer to the private sector.

Probabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems
Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...

Accidental drinking water contamination has long been and remains a major threat to water security throughout the world. Consequently, contamination source identification is an important and difficult problem in the managing safety in water distribution systems. This problem involves the characterization of the contaminant source based on observations that are streaming from a set of sensors in...

LIU, LI. Real-time Contaminant Source Characterization in Water Distribution Systems. (Under the direction of S. Ranji Ranjithan and G. Mahinthakumar.) Accidental/intentional contamination continues to be a major concern for the security management in water distribution systems. Once a contaminant has been initially detected, an effective algorithm is required to recover the characteristics of ...
متن کاملIntegrated modelling of eutrophication and organic contaminant fate in rivers
Eutrophication and contamination by toxic organic pollutants are the major problems in water quality management. Despite the fact that both problems have been subjected to extensive research and modelling, they have traditionally been treated separately. Because the models used are single-issue models, many interactions between nutrient cycles and organic contaminant fate and effect are missed....
متن کاملSeddeer: a Sediment Transport Model for Water Quality Modeling
In this study, a stand-alone sediment and contaminant model, SEDDEER (Sediment Deposition and Erosion), is presented. The model simulates one water box and underlying (multiple) sediment bed layers, and was developed for incorporation into water quality models. The processes incorporated in the model are: settling and deposition, resuspension, equilibrium adsorption/desorption, sediment-water i...
