Full Description

This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting the motivation for contamination warningsystems and timely response, and an overview of threat ensemble vulnerability assessment(TEVA) Research Program. Case study goals presented include:identify response actions which could be implemented tominimize impacts given a contamination event;evaluate feasibility of various response actions to furtherdevelopment of a hydraulic response tool;provide input to development of a consequencemanagement plan for the case study utility; and,develop a response tool which supports the selection ofoptimal response actions (flushing, valve closures, publicnotifications) given a contamination event. A summary of analysis states that:by simulating a range of contamination incidents withina pressure zone, average response options can bedeveloped; preliminary results of average response optionsgenerally result in approximately a 1-2% decrease inthe percent reduction of the impact measure from theoptimal response solution; and,determining an average response option can be usefulwhen the contamination source location is unknownand provides a means for developing pre-plannedresponse strategies. Includes tables, figures.
