Physical and water quality indicators assessment in main pipelines: The impact of hydraulic transient events

[EN] An indicator that correlates physical quantities with water quality has great relevance for the definition of projects and understanding of real hydraulic transient phenomena. The work proposing a method to estimate water quality in real system focusing on turbidity measurements during a transient, as surrogate to understand potential dynamics in real systems. In order to get an empirical formula to turbidity during hydraulic transients, was observed 5 years’ data from a real system. This system is one of the mains important pipelines of the Water Supply System of Curitiba and Metropolitan Region, in South Brazil.
