Software modelling tool to predict DBP formation (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Results of Task 3.3 (Model DBP transformations in the case study network). Lead: UCY; Contribution: ICRA. SC, SCI, WBL, CANAL, UCT [M9-M30]. This deliverable consists of a software tool that will be developed based on open libraries, such as QGIS/EPANET to predict the formation of the DBPs in water distribution systems. The validation process will include an algorithm for the identification of DBPs formation through UV-VIS, and fluorescence measurements of DOM retrieved from the sensors. In addition, measurements retrieved from 3 existing UV-VIS sensors installed in Madrid’s DWN (managed by CANAL) will be used to validate the model dynamics. The calibrated model will be used to assess the performance of the proposed strategies for optimal control and minimisation of risk of DBPs formation described in Task 3.4. Furthermore, the model will simulate what-if scenarios including various conditions, uncertainties and considering climate change to assist in the decision-making process.

Modelling workflow to forecast short-term changes in DOM in source waters (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Results of Task 5.2 (Short-term prediction). Lead: DCU; Contribution: CSIC, ATL, VT) [M12 – M36]. This deliverable will present the results from the FLARE forecasting system applied for short-term forecasts using the modelling workflow developed in Task 5.1 and will be applied to both Irish and Spanish CS sites. The workflow will also build on work undertaken in the Water JPI PROGNOS project (2016-2019) and the JPI Climate WATExR project (2017 – 2020) which developed integrated approaches that couple high frequency monitoring data from source water to dynamic lake water quality models to forecast changes in water quality. The novel tool will provide short-term simulation for the immediate future (10-14 days) and the next season (3 months), together with a metric of forecasting uncertainty. The forecasting ability will first be tested using the large archives of historical meteorological and DOM data for the Burrishoole, together with archived weather forecast data. The workflow will then be tested using new weather forecasts and measured DOM and DBP formation data at Sau, Burrishoole and at the three smaller GWS sites in Ireland.

Strategies for DBP minimization (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Results of Task 4.1(Strategies for DBPs minimization). Lead: UCT; Contribution: ICRA, SC [M1-6]. This deliverable corresponds to a report summarizing the strategies for minimization of DBPs formation reviewed based on the recent literature, with particular attention to the DBPs regulated by the new DWD and to the emerging DBPs (e.g., NDMA). The identified approaches for DBPs control will include (1) enhanced precursors removal, (2) alternative disinfection and/or pre-oxidation, and (3) removal of DBPs after their formation. Emphasis will be given to the use of alternative pre-oxidation processes that may be easily implemented for the upgrade of water treatment plants and the optimized formation of chloramines for disinfection. Available technologies for upgrading the pre-oxidation units will be evaluated in situ along with the optimal operating parameters.

Report on HRMS fingerprinting tool (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Results of Task 2.6 (Comparison of UV and fluorescence signals to HRMS fingerprinting) Lead: ICRA; Contribution: SC, SCI, UCT, UniSA [M6-36]. This report will present the methodology and results obtained with HRMS fingerprinting. Information obtained from robust and cost-effective methodologies such as UV-VIS absorbance spectra and fluorescence will be compared with HRMS fingerprinting and NTS to evaluate and extend the capabilities of the sensors.

Review of modelling solutions for intoDBP (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Resutls from Task 3.1 (Identifying modelling tools and strategies for optimal control of DBPs in water distribution networks) Lead: UCY; Contribution: ICRA, SC, SCI, UCT [M1-M12]. This deliverable will summarize the findings from reviewing existing modelling tools, software, and procedures to model the formation of DBPs in water distribution networks. The analysis will focus on open-source software and published results and identify their key features and licensing status. Selected state-of-the-art methodologies, most relevant for optimal control and minimization of DBP related risks, will be studied. These methodologies include state estimation, optimal sensor placement, DBPs formation prediction through UV-VIS and fluorescence signal analysis measuring the reduction of DOM (DBP precursors), early warning detection and decision-making tool.

Monitoring system deployment plan (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Deliverable linked to Task 3.2 (Deployment of the automated monitoring systems). Lead: SC; Contribution: HUJI, WBL, UCY, CANAL, SCI, UCT [M9-M30]. This deliverable consists of the design of a monitoring plan for each CS according to the monitoring technologies described and provided by WP2. The location of the sensors along with the required tools to implement a holistic monitoring system in the CS will be identified and communicated to the CS owners.

Report on real-world source protection measures (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

Results of Task 5.4 (Systematic review of measures to reduce DOM in source waters, and a feasibility study at intoDBP case sites). Lead: DCU; Contribution: CSIC [M12 – M36]. This report will present a review of potential mitigation measures for reducing DOM in raw water sources working alongside the Irish National Federation of Group Water Schemes, which has invested extensively on source protection research in recent years (https://nfgws.ie/the-nfgws-and-source-protection/), and partners at the Spanish site. This will include a review of literature and real-world practice. Input from water utility practitioners, group water scheme members and the local community will be sought through a combination of focus groups, interviews, and surveys. Where measures have previously been implemented, their success or otherwise will also be assessed. A focus will be placed on assessing feasibility, cost, and community buy-in when evaluating the success of reviewed mitigation measures.
