摘要: |
The main objectives of this research were to: (1) collect field measurements of bacterial regrowth over a 12-month study (September 1998-August 1999) in the Durham and Raleigh distribution systems to add to the data base from our previous 17-month study of the same systems and (2) initiate development of a deterministic model of bacterial regrowth that will eventually be linked with components that account for uncertainty in parameter estimates to yield a more realistic model. Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) by the R2A agar method, total coliforms, biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC), chlorine residual (in Durham), combined chlorine (in Raleigh), disinfectant demand, disinfectant decay rates, total organic carbon (TOC) and temperature were measured monthly in the finished water and 10 stations in each distribution system. A tracer study was conducted in Durham to measure mean water residence time. |
