As part of a study of nitrification in the Sweetwater Authority (SWA) distributionsystem, a unique monitoring and modeling program was carried out to characterize themovement, transformation and mixing of water in the distribution system and indistribution system tanks and reservoirs. The monitoring and modeling program wascomposed of the following primary tasks: an innovative tracer study, which did notrequire injection of a tracer chemical, in order to characterize movement through thedistribution system; validation of the SWA network model using tracer study results;application of a network model to understand water quality dynamics in thedistribution system; measuring the vertical distribution of temperatures in severaltanks over a period of weeks in order to evaluate potential stratification; and, modelingtank mixing and aging.
