"Booster disinfection has been shown to be an effective means of maintaining more stable chlorine residuals in a water distribution system. It has been suggested that booster disinfection could also be a viable means of protecting a population against contamination," investigators in the United States report.
"We simulated random contamination events in a model water distribution system with an optimized sensor network. A disinfection boost was simulated to begin the instant the contamination reached a sensor, and a range of decay coefficients were applied to the contaminant to simulate reaction with the disinfectant. Cumulative distribution curves of the volume ...
