Abstract
Systems that have big transmission line may have problem on changes of pressure in the distribution system. Because pressure rate changes have been too much between water treatment plant and dead ends in distribution system. This study is to analyze the effects pressure changes on the water quality in water distribution systems. It is located in south west of Ahwaz in IRAN. Ahwaz has five water treatment plants. In Ahwaz, two methods will be utilized. In the first method, samples will be taken from different locations in other to examine the quality of water in the distribution systems and the other method involves the use of simulation of models EPANET. Based on the EPANET model analysis of the water distribution system of Ahwaz as shown in result above the systems has large transmission line and exten- sive networks. So, the distance travelled and residence times have been causing to increase bacterial growth (HPC), chlorine consumption and hydraulic change (pressure) in water distribution system in Ahwaz. Pressure has a reversed relationship with bacterial growth (HPC) and Pressure has a direct relationship with residual chlorine. Pressure change has been causing to increase chlorine consumption more. So, Kw hasn’t any relationship with pressure and bacterial growth (HPC). The result of pressure changes among others can decrease in chlorine content and hydraulic factors, because the systems may be extensive and thus possess complex networks and hangs in quantity cause pressure of flow. Hence hydraulic changes (pressure) could affect of water quality in the water distribution system.

Summary
In the big distribution systems, water needs to travel a large distance with a long water residence time. This may be due to low pressure, big and multiple reservoir storages, insufficient disinfection in the system, leaking, fracture and loosening of joints, and so on. The problems of quantity are basic agents in the decay of water quality in distribution systems. One of the parameter that could reason to decrease water quality in distribution system is pressure change in network. Many researchers have been carried out about affects pressure change in the water quality in distribution systems. High residence time and high pressure could cause decay of water quality as it had been responsible for increment in the rate of bacteria growth”.
