Other advanced WQ applications
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
The power of multi-species reactive transport modeling extends well beyond just DBPs and nitrification. Once you grasp the fundamentals of defining interacting species and their reaction kinetics, you can apply these techniques to a wide range of other complex water quality phenomena that occur in distribution systems.
This section will provide illustrative examples of these broader applications, showcasing the versatility of advanced water quality models. For instance, we might explore how to model more detailed microbial regrowth dynamics within the bulk water and in biofilms, considering factors like the availability of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) as a substrate for growth, the impact of different disinfectant types on various microbial populations, and the sloughing of biofilm into the bulk water.
