Modeling and optimization of pressure and water age for evaluation of urban water distribution systems performance [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 Water loss has become increasingly critical as the severity of the water shortage situation has grown in recent decades. One of the options for reducing water loss in urban water distribution networks is pressure management.

Water Age Effects on the Occurrence and Concentration of Legionella Species in the Distribution System, Premise Plumbing, and the Cooling Towers [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 In this study, droplet digital PCRTM (ddPCRTM) was used to characterize total Legionella spp. and five specific Legionella species from source (groundwater) to exposure sites (taps and cooling towers).

Water age in drinking water distribution systems: A case study comparing tracers and EPANET
Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental EngineeringThis study aimed to compare the water age in a drinking water distribution network (DWDN) using tracers and EPANET. The results indicate that all DWDN have residence times within the “short” time.

Modelling of the circulation, water exchange and water age
Oceanologia, 2006 To estimate the mean circulation, water exchange and water agein the Gulf of Bothnia a ten-year simulation using a three-dimensionalnumerical model was carried out. The results confirmed the earlyfindings by Witting (1912) and Palmén (1930) that a

Variable Legionella Response to Building Occupancy Patterns and Precautionary Flushing
Microorganisms, 2022 When stay-at-home orders were issued to slow the spread of COVID-19, building occupancy (and water demand) was drastically decreased in many buildings. There was concern that widespread low water demand may cause unprecedented Legionella occurrence and ...

Fertile Waters for Aging Research [PDF]
Cell, 2015 The quest to slow aging has come far, and what used to be the domain of science fiction writers and snake oil salesmen may soon become science fact. Innovative new approaches, such as the use of the very short-lived African killifish (Harel et al.), are bridging the translational gap and bring the promise of healthy longevity to fruition.
