Contribution of Numerical Modeling to a Drinking Water Production Plan

Acquedotto del Fiora, in order to optimize management and meet water demand of coastal district, has planned a Drinking Water Production Plan (DWPP) that defines the annual time schedule of activation and use of resources.The forecast of S.Fiora springs discharge, along with hydraulic model of Dorsale Fiora, allowed evaluation of the worst scenario.DWPP permitted to: define a stable allocation of water pipeline flows, plan activation of water treatment plants and additional resources, avoiding their over-exploitation and improving the overall quality, schedule, as middle-long term project, improvements to the main pipeline, enhancements of wells, facilities and plants.
