Evaluation of water quality in urban drinking water distribution networks: a case study in Johannesburg, South Africa by Luyaba, Lubabalo

“…To ensure practical relevance for WSPs, the study focused on the key sources of uncertainty in drinking water quality modelling in water distribution networks. Drinking water quality (considering various specific determinants) was the dependent variable, with the independent variables being: hydraulic definition, level of calibration, pipe age, pipe material, water demand pattern, load shedding and tank (reservoir) mixing model. …”
