Full Description

A well-calibrated water distribution system model can be acritical tool that supports the preparation of an emergency response plan (ERP) andmay be essential in managing the response to an intentional contamination event that involves biological orchemical agents. Rapid response that isolates the migration of the contamination may be the only credible way toconvince the public that their drinking water is safe. This slide presentation demonstrates how modeling six simulationsof aterrorist chemical attack to awater system can be used to develop an ERP that includes the following:notification of customers in Pressure Zone II to use bottled water;flushing at Hydrants J-14 and J-36 per Scenario VI, to remove the contaminant from the system; and, adetermination of when the system would return to normal operation.
