Chlorine concentration

Steps
1. Water quality analysis can only be done in extended period simulation
because we have to see the change over time. To change epanet in to
extende- period mode we go to the data tab of the browser, and select
options. In that menu, select times.

3. Add the chlorine source. Click on reservoir and introduce 1 in the parameter
initial quality
As it can be seen from the above image at 12 hr all of the nodes have greater than
0.8 mg/l residual chlorine level. Recommended residual chlorine is between 0.2-0.6
ppm. When the amount of chlorine is increased, it starts to flavor the water and
people may reject it in favor of less secure water sources. This maximum value
depends greatly on the population using the water and whether they are
accustomed to chlorination or not. A maximum 0.6 ppm is advised. So the amount
of residual chlorine must be reduced.
7. Change the concentration of chlorine at source to 0.5 ppm.

As a general rule, plan for water to spend no more than one day in the
network. (3 days recommended)
It is in the furthest and most isolated areas of network where quality
problems are greatest.
