ROLA KOMPUTEROWEGO MODELOWANIA WIEKU WODY W POPRAWIE JAKOŚCI WODY W WODOCIĄGACH I ZMNIEJSZANIU KOSZTÓW JEJ UZDATNIANIA

Abstract

The aim of this study was to conduct a computer simulation of the water supply system which can help in finding the methods and means to improve the quality of water supplied by water supply network. As the object of study was chosen the city of Dabrowa Bialostocka. Water supply network in Dabrowa Bialystok supplies water to approximately 6043 residents of the city and the surrounding village commune. Created in this way, a computer model of water supply network shows its behavior in any simulated conditions, also it allows you to fi nd the weak points. The research models, a series of variants that simulate the operation of the existing distribution systems and conducted the analysis of the age of the water. Analysis of the age of the water in the modeled water supply showed areas where standing water is aging, with no mouth and giving a way to the fresh water. Simulations have shown that it is possible to use computer models of water supply network for fi nding solutions aimed at improving water quality in distribution systems.
