CAIRSENSE-Atlanta Low Cost Sensor Evaluation Versus Reference Monitors

Short time interval comparisons of low cost sensor response and corresponding Federal Reference or Federal Equivalent Monitors at an NCOR site located in proximity to Atlanta, Georgia. Portions of this dataset are inaccessible because: The data were integrated using R.  Currently there is no means of reporting "R: database in the science hub. Data are still being reviewed as part of the journal publication process.  Release prior to journal acceptance could result in external parties inappropriately using the data (including sensor manufacturers who might use such data without a full understanding of its meaning).

The Full-Scale Implementation of an Innovative (Supplemental)

Across the United States, high levels of ammonia in drinking water
sources can be found. Although ammonia in water does not pose
a direct health concern, ammonia nitrification can cause a number
of issues and reduce the effectiveness of some treatment processes.
An innovative biological ammonia-removal drinking water
treatment process was developed and, after the success of a pilot
study, a full-scale treatment system using the process was built in
a small Iowa community. The treatment plant included a unique
aeration contactor design that is able to consistently reduce
ammonia from 3.3 mg of nitrogen/L to nearly nondetectable after
a biofilm acclimation period. Close system monitoring was
performed to avoid excess nitrite release during acclimation, and
phosphate was added to enhance biological activity on the basis
of pilot study findings. The treatment system is robust, reliable,
and relatively simple to operate. The operations and effectiveness
of the treatment plant were documented in the study.

Impact of water quality on chlorine demand of corroding copper (Supplement)

Copper is widely used in drinking water premise plumbing system materials. In buildings such as
hospitals, large and complicated plumbing networks make it difficult to maintain good water quality.
Sustaining safe disinfectant residuals throughout a building to protect against waterborne pathogens
such as Legionella is particularly challenging since copper and other reactive distribution system materials
can exert considerable demands. The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of pH and
orthophosphate on the consumption of free chlorine associated with corroding copper pipes over time. A
copper test-loop pilot system was used to control test conditions and systematically meet the study
objectives. Chlorine consumption trends attributed to abiotic reactions with copper over time were
different for each pH condition tested, and the total amount of chlorine consumed over the test runs
increased with increasing pH. Orthophosphate eliminated chlorine consumption trends with elapsed
time (i.e., chlorine demand was consistent across entire test runs). Orthophosphate also greatly reduced
the total amount of chlorine consumed over the test runs. Interestingly, the total amount of chlorine
consumed and the consumption rate were not pH dependent when orthophosphate was present. The
findings reflect the complex and competing reactions at the copper pipe wall including corrosion,
oxidation of Cu(I) minerals and ions, and possible oxidation of Cu(II) minerals, and the change in chlorine
species all as a function of pH. The work has practical applications for maintaining chlorine residuals in
premise plumbing drinking water systems including large buildings such as hospitals.

Water quality modeling in the dead end sections of drinking water (Supplement)

Dead-end sections of drinking water distribution networks are known to be problematic zones in terms of water quality degradation. Extended residence time due to water stagnation leads to rapid reduction of disinfectant residuals allowing the regrowth of microbial pathogens. Water quality models developed so far apply spatial aggregation and temporal averaging techniques for hydraulic parameters by assigning hourly averaged water demands to the main nodes of the network. Although this practice has generally resulted in minimal loss of accuracy for the predicted disinfectant concentrations in main water transmission lines, this is not the case for the peripheries of the distribution network. This study proposes a new approach for simulating disinfectant residuals in dead end pipes while accounting for both spatial and temporal variability in hydraulic and transport parameters. A stochastic demand generator was developed to represent residential water pulses based on a non-homogenous Poisson process. Dispersive solute transport was considered using highly dynamic dispersion rates. A genetic algorithm was used to
calibrate the axial hydraulic profile of the dead-end pipe based on the different demand shares of the withdrawal nodes. A parametric sensitivity analysis was done to assess the model performance under variation of different simulation parameters. A group of Monte-Carlo ensembles was carried out to investigate the influence of spatial and temporal variations in flow demands on the simulation accuracy.
A set of three correction factors were analytically derived to adjust residence time, dispersion rate and wall demand to overcome simulation error caused by spatial aggregation approximation. The current model results show better agreement with field-measured concentrations of conservative fluoride tracer and free chlorine disinfectant than the simulations of recent advection dispersion reaction models
published in the literature. Accuracy of the simulated concentration profiles showed significant dependence on the spatial distribution of the flow demands compared to temporal variation.
