Theme 3:<strong>Water</strong> quality in distributi<strong>on</strong> systems<br />
After water is treated to drinking water it is transported to the<br />
customers in large underground distributi<strong>on</strong> systems. In the<br />
distributi<strong>on</strong> systems the water quality deteriorates in time due<br />
to several complex interrelated processes. The objective of this<br />
research theme is to understand the water quality processes in<br />
the distributi<strong>on</strong> network and to propose innovati<strong>on</strong>s and guidelines<br />
to prevent future water quality deteriorati<strong>on</strong>. Focus will<br />
be <strong>on</strong> the effect of natural organic matter (NOM), the hydraulic<br />
behaviour of sediment in the distributi<strong>on</strong> system and the chemical<br />
interacti<strong>on</strong> between water and the piping material. Furthermore<br />
different tools will be developed to asses the water quality in the<br />
distributi<strong>on</strong> system <strong>on</strong>-line.<br />
