Özet

The aim of the current study is to demonstrate that managing chlorine in a water distribution network (WDN) can be done using GIS, SCADA and hydraulic/water quality modeling. For this purpose, EPANET hydraulic and water quality software was applied to a certain section of Antalya WDN using data sets obtained from SCADA and GIS. The model calibration and verification were carried out using both on-site manual and online measurements of flow rates, water pressures and free residual chlorine concentrations. Comparison of modeling results with field measurements in the study area showed that model predictions are in line with field measurements. Based on this study, the developed system can be considered as a useful tool for water utilities, planners and decision makers for similar applications in other regions.
