Real-time Discolouration Risk Management

STREAM: Industrial Doctorate Centre for the Water Sector

Exeter University

The timely and reliable detection of discoloured water at supply points is of concern to
both customers and water companies. However, managing discolouration in water
distribution systems is challenging owing to the complex nature of its origin.
The overall project aim is to develop new methods for more reliable management
of discolouration events in real-time. The new technology will be tested on a
real-life case study in the UK. The project is expected to result in a range of
benefits to both water companies and their customers.
