Sensor & Model Enabled Water Quality & Security Assessment System for Situational Awareness of Water Distribution Networks

Abstract

Extent And Magnitude Of The Problem: Potable Water Distribution System: 880,000 miles of pipe comprise the nation s drinking water distribution network [AWWA WATER\STATS2002]. A Department of Defense report estimates that corrosion related problems cost the Department of Defense $15 billion dollars/year. Typical Water Distribution Systems: Potential corrosion problems, Threat to Water Potability, Threat to Fire Suppression, Lack of system redundancy, Large area subtended by the system, Treatment chemicals and Control systems (SCADA).
