Water and Sanitation Systems. Postattack Study - Detroit Case Study. Volume II.
Abstract
The research considered the vulnerability of the sanitary environment control systems of Detroit. In addition, the Recovery Technique Evaluation (RTE) method was applied to these systems. The RTE procedure provided a useful method to direct a logical analysis of alternative recovery strategies. The complexity of the systems analyzed, the relationship to other systems, and the extent and level of detail which must be available for a meaningful analysis under planning or training conditions was clearly evident. Considering the expected results of the hypothetical nuclear attack it is expected that the Detroit water supply system could be recovered and could supply at least minimal requirements within several weeks postattack. Repair of the other sanitary systems is expected to present critical problems in the allocation of resources and time-phasing of recovery; however, through expedient means, minimum survivor needs could probably be met.
