Emergencies such as storms, wildfires, floods, or earthquakes can affect various interconnected environmental and critical infrastructure systems, potentially causing failures that may cascade from one system to another. For instance, events contaminate water sources, disrupt the operation of treatment, supply, disinfection, distribution, cause overflows in sewerage drainage services power grids, telecommunication networks, transportation networks. Especially cases contamination disruption...
Disinfection of water in distribution systems is essential for ensuring the microbiological safety drinking water. However, disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are chemical compounds formed when disinfectants, such as chlorine, react with natural organic matter (NOM) and other constituents The formation DBPs can pose health risks, including cancer reproductive issues, necessitating robust strategies to predict mitigate their presence.As part EU-funded IntoDBP project, a comprehensive real-world...
Drinking water disinfection by utilities aims to ensure the safety and high quality of provided water; however, it can pose a threat human health due formation byproducts (DBPs). The prediction modeling DBPs are challenging tasks complex reactions within distribution networks (WDN). To address this challenge, we introduce virtual testbed based on realistic WDN in Cyprus that utilizes EPANET EPANET-MSX engines model multi-species for execution simulation experiments under various conditions...
Emergencies and disasters (such as earthquakes floods), may contaminate drinking water systems with pathogens, that can affect the health of both First Responders Citizens. As part Horizon 2020 “Pathogen Contamination Emergency Response Technologies” (PathoCERT) project, we are developing a Digital Twin tool (PathoINVEST) to assist Water Authorities in investigating responding efficiently contamination events. In this paper, present preliminary work on PathoINVEST, its architecture, how it...
