本文讨论了水力建模最终将如何取代大多数现场测试和台架建模，以评估清水井。《安全饮用水法》及其修正案对所有处理地表水的工厂实施了严格的指导方针。几乎所有这样的工厂都使用清洁井来延长消毒时间。这些设施设计中的一个挑战是最大限度地进行消毒，同时限制消毒副产物的形成。这些相互竞争的目标可以通过优化clearwells的水力性能和效率来实现。本文介绍了三个案例研究。包括4个参考文献、表格、图表。

This article discusses how hydraulic modeling will eventually displace most field testing and bench modeling for the evaluation of clearwells. The Safe Drinking Water Act and its amendments impose stringent guidelines on all plants that treat surface water. Virtually all such plants use clearwells to increase the duration of disinfection. A challenge in the design of these facilities is maximizing disinfection while limiting the formation of disinfection by-products. These competing objectives can best be attained by optimizing the hydraulic performance and efficiency of clearwells. Three case studies are described in this article. Includes 4 references, table, figures.
