Abstract
Recently the town of Wiarton, Ontario, Canada completed a trial of a newly developed chlorine dioxide generator. During the trial, water samples were taken throughout the distribution system and analyzed for various parameters. The results of these tests are used to calibrate the hydraulic model of the distribution system. The disinfectant and its byproducts can be used essentially as trace materials to determine more accurate retention times of the network. The complexity of the modeling scenario deserves noting - as little to no information is available regarding the time distribution of leakage, demand and consumption. The situation is mathematically underdetermine, in that one has to make educated guesses to explain not only the observations, but also the mechanics behind the observations. EPANet v2.06 is used to model the town's water distribution system.
