Abstract:

This paper describes recent examples of spatial analyses as (1) a unifying concept for allocation of costs to various elements of water treatment and delivery; (2) a link and node (Network) representation of water supply being integrated with the Water Supply Simulation Model and maintenance and pipe replacement data to provide a tool for analyzing 'break and leak reports' and (3) to predict water quality at various locations in a water distribution system. Another far reaching example of spatial analysis in water supply is the integration of upstream industrial and toxic dischargers with design decisions in downstream water treatment.
