Abstract

The discrete numerical model developed by the help of TEVA-SPOT specialized software toolkit serves to a subsequent analysis that looks to estimate the water distribution system vulnerability in case of a contaminant agent release. The optimum location of the water quality sensors attached to a number of joints in the Timisoara (Romania) metropolitan water supply network can be reached in order to warn the company management and competent authorities and so to reduce the contamination effects upon the consumers.

Highlights

  • The discrete numerical model developed by the help of TEVA-Sensor Placement Optimization Tool (SPOT) specialized software toolkit serves to a subsequent analysis that looks to estimate the water distribution system vulnerability in case of a contaminant agent release

  • If one considers that a locations group L contains an inactive dummy location q which is to be found in all La sub-groups, the impact for this location can be handled in two different ways: (1) as a contamination incident impact at the end of the entire pollutants transport simulation, without Contaminant Warning Systems (CWS) on-line notice, or (2) as a zero-impact event

  • The detection limits in milligrams/liter were set for three levels at 0, 0.01 and 1.0, and the response time was considered as for three moments at minute 0, 360 and 720

Summary

Introduction

The discrete numerical model developed by the help of TEVA-SPOT specialized software toolkit serves to a subsequent analysis that looks to estimate the water distribution system vulnerability in case of a contaminant agent release. The water requirements on all joints are known [7,8] and so the entire supply network was numerically generated by the help of EPANET 2.0 software, considering an extended simulation time period of 48 hours.
