Research objectives for this study presented in a slide presentation were to: develop and demonstrate an effective method to characterize potential exposure to contaminants; evaluate system responses resulting from a deliberate bio-chemical assault on a drinking water distribution network; and, perform system vulnerability assessment and develop vulnerability plots for a network, such that results can be easily interpreted by utilities and designers. Topics covered include: the vulnerability of water distribution systems to security threats; use of models in assessing water system vulnerability; recent research based on the use of Monte Carlo techniques for simulating water demands; development of models based on the integration of stochastic demand simulation and water quality transport; and, the use of integrated models for studying effect of system operation on consumer exposure.
