Study on Methods of Water Quality Analysis Based on Conventional Water Quality Monitoring Parameters

Abstract:

Water contamination events of urban water supply often show the characteristics of abruptness and variety, and the on-line water quality monitoring parameters usually are difficult to cover various contaminant parameters. With the help with routine detection and on-line water quality monitoring, it is possible to detect and judge whether a water quality event has happened or not and to identify its type indirectly, and obtain the relevant information of qualitative and quantitative analysis. These will be significant to the decision making by the concerning sectors and units. Taking the events of ammonium iron sulfate in the distribution system for example, the relationship of water between contamination concentration and conventional water quality monitoring parameters is investigated, and the quantitative method based on D-S evidence theory is given.
