Black&Veatch咨询公司与泰晤士河水务公司的合作一直在进行 在两个AwwaRF研究项目上，这两个项目都与预测和管理水有关 分销质量:项目#2769，评估管理分销系统的保留时间 水质；以及#2865项目，配水系统水质预测模型。 本文介绍了这两个项目的研究结果，并使用案例研究来分析 展示研究得出的结论，并推荐预测方法， 管理和控制配电网中的水质。以下主题是 盖满: 停留时间管理和水质； 配水系统水质预测模型；和 分析停留时间和相关水质问题的工具。 本文介绍了三个案例研究，展示了如何利用保留时间来管理水质，包括: 改善水质的水力模型； 改善系统水力以减少大肠菌群； 利用模型改善分配系统的氯味；和 控制保留时间的方法概述。 其中两个案例研究详细描述了对改进的分析和实施 纠正具体问题。最后一节课总结了需要采取的水质控制措施 目前用于改善配水水质，通过案例研究证明 可供选择的范围。包括38个参考文献、表格、图表。

Black & Veatch Consulting in association with Thames Water Utilities has been working on two AwwaRF Research Projects, both of which relate to predicting and managing water quality in distribution: Project #2769, Evaluating Retention Time to Manage Distribution System Water Quality; and, Project #2865, Predictive Models for Water Quality in Distribution Systems. This paper presents the findings of the two projects and uses case studies to demonstrate the conclusions from the research and recommend approaches for predicting, managing and controlling water quality in distribution networks. The following topics are covered: retention time management and water quality; models for predicting distribution system water quality; and, tools to analyze retention time and related water quality problems. Three case studies are presented that demonstrate the use of retention time to manage water quality that include: hydraulic modeling to improve water quality; improving system hydraulics to reduce coliforms; using models to improve distribution system chlorine taste; and, summary of methods for controlling retention time. Two of the case studies describe in detail the analysis of and improvements implemented to rectify specific problems. The last session summarizes water quality control measures that are currently used to improve water quality in distribution, using a case study to demonstrate the range of options available. Includes 38 references, tables, figures.
