Predicting disinfectant concentrations in water distribution systems using water quality models requires the input of the wall decay coefficient of the disinfectant. In this study, field water sampling data was integrated with network hydraulic and water quality model simulations of a section of the municipal water distribution system in the City of Edmonton, composed of predominantly cast iron piping, to determine a wall decay coefficient for combined chlorine (chloramine). Unique combined chlorine wall decay coefficients that provided the best fit of model-predicted chlorine concentrations to the field data were determined at two temperatures. Using the determined wall decay coefficients, the water quality model can be used to predict combined chlorine concentrations.

Fuzzy Evaluation Model

According to the fuzziness of water quality in water distribution system, based on the simulation data of water quality obtained by using EPANET software,and applying entropy weight theory in the fuzzy evaluation of water quality, fuzzy evaluation model of water quality based on entropy weight and EPANET is established. Water quality in water distribution system of Hengshanqiao town is evaluated by using this method.Evaluation results are relatively objective and credible, proving that the method is simple and practical, scientific and reliable.
