Effect of Blending on Distribution System Water Quality California-Nevada Section of American Water Works Association Seminar. "Advancing the Science of Water - Controlling Distribution System Water Quality In a Changing Environment" The UCF Drinking Water Research team was invited by the California-Nevada Section of the American Water Works Association to participate in a one and a half day seminar during April 7-8, 2005 at Los Angeles (California). Presentations by the UCF research team included the effects of blending multiple water sources and the impact on distribution system water quality; and specifically included presentations on (a) iron, turbidity and apparent color release, (b) residual dissipation, (c) lead and copper release, (d) transitional iron, copper and lead release, (e) nitrification and (f) biostability. The findings and model development for the release and transition of metals and residual are unique and provide an opportunity for advancing the maintenance of distribution system water quality. Quantitative models for the release and transition of iron, turbidity, apparent color, copper and lead, and residual transition and release have been developed and were illustrated for a hypothetical segment of a distribution system. At the seminar, nine (7) presentations were given by the UCF Drinking Water Research team. The presentations were:
