Understanding Water Age in Distribution Systems with<span>EPANET</span> Open
Key Takeaways Modeling water age is a simple approach, by means of a readily measurable parameter, to rapidly assess a water distribution system's (WDS's) general water quality. Used correctly, the US Environmental Protection Agency's EPAN…

Advances in Premise Plumbing Modeling Open
In summer 2019, a new task committee on Premise Plumbing Modeling (PPM) was approved under the auspices of the Water Distribution Systems Analysis Committee of ASCE EWRI. The primary purpose of the PPM task committee is to advance the scie…

"Learning from “Our Relations” Indigenous Peoples of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and United States: A Review of Culturally Relevant Diabetes and Obesity Interventions for Health Open
Globally, Indigenous Peoples suffer disproportionately higher rates and complications of diabetes and obesity than non-Indigenous people. Western health interventions combined with culturally appropriate Traditional approaches can reduce i…

The effect of a loss of model structural detail due to network skeletonization on contamination warning system design: case studies Open
The effect of limitations in the structural detail available in a network model on contamination warning system (CWS) design was examined in case studies using the original and skeletonized network models for two water distribution systems…

Mass imbalances in EPANET water-quality simulations Open
EPANET is widely employed to simulate water quality in water distribution systems. However, in general, the time-driven simulation approach used to determine concentrations of water-quality constituents provides accurate results only for s…

Response to comments by S. Hatchett on the paper “Mass imbalances in EPANET waterquality simulations” Open
To briefly summarize, three comments were provided: (1) There is a logical inconsistency in the description of the event-driven algorithm; (2) The example in Appendix B should be simplified; and (3) The recommendations should be improved.(…

Assessing Inhalation Exposures Associated with Contamination Events in Water Distribution Systems Open
When a water distribution system (WDS) is contaminated, short-term inhalation exposures to airborne contaminants could occur as the result of domestic water use. The most important domestic sources of such exposures are likely to be shower…
