A Variable Rate Coefficient Chlorine Decay Model

This article is one of the first attempts since 1990s to develop a chlorine decay model that is practical for “...day-to-day water distribution network modelling purposes and chlorine dosing optimisation studies” in that the model coefficients are independent of loading conditions (initial and rechlorination doses). This is of importance because, for the first time, the modelling community has a means to simulate water in the water distribution network from two or more sources, allowing them to have different and distinctive water quality. This work paved the way towards subsequent development of the multiple species model from USA Environmental Protection Agency.
