1 Integrated Water Quality Security System (IWQSS) William B. Samuels and Rakesh Bahadur Science Applications International Corporation June 27, 2002

2 Need Two approaches for water utility security Upgrade Infrastructure Costly Long Process Partial Protection Upgrade Preparedness Substantial & Rapid gains Bolster security and response while Infrastructure is being Improved

3 Purpose Develop an Emergency Response Tool  Assess the population at risk  Determine which Intakes and water treatment plants are impacted  Develop a risk reduction strategy Design Criteria  Minimum manual interaction  Minimum input data required for modeling  Tabular and graphical output

4 Integrated Water Quality Security System (IWQSS) Treatment System Surface water Water Intake Distribution System IWQSS Water Treatment Process (WTP)

5 IWQSS Advantages Comprehensive approach to water quality security Analyze effects in raw water :  upstream of the intake of a water supply system  at the water intake Analyze effects at the treatment plant Analyze effects in finished water  At a service reservoir  At a point in the distribution system

6 Scope of IWQSS Water Treatment Processes Constituents of Concern RiverSpill PipelineNet IWQSS Utility specific US wide

7 Constituents of Concern Information Sources 42 CFR part 72 – biological agents USAMRIID - CWA Dr. Deininger – SAIC consultant

9 RiverSpill Module Emergency response tool for fate and transport of contaminants Uses real-time stream flow data Operational for US

10 RiverSpill Design Principles  Develop national-scale model framework for emergency response  capable of performing hydraulic transport routing and connectivity of surface waters  Uses best available national-scale data  Address the needs of a broad user community

11 RiverSpill Architecture

12 System Components ArcView 3.2 Network Analyst 1.0 Databases Enhanced Reach File (EPA, USGS) USGS Real Time Stream Flow Public Water Supplies (EPA)

13 RiverSpill Operation Location of incident Fate and transport of contaminant to the nearest intake Identify the population served by the water treatment plant.

14 RiverSpill Users and Applications Users Federal, State, & Local government agencies Water Utilities Applications Planning Exercises Response to Accidental & Deliberate Acts
