Quality Assessment of Sokoto Water Distribution Networks

This project shows a complete method for checking the quality of municipal water distribution networks, looking at how key physical and chemical parameters change over space and time. Using GPS to map sample locations, the study systematically measures water quality at many consumer points over several weeks. The parameters measured are: – Residual chlorine – pH – Dissolved oxygen (DO) – Temperature – Electrical conductivity These measurements describe reactions that occur in the water itself (bulk) and on the pipe walls. The data are compared to national drinking‑water standards to spot any areas that don’t meet the rules, especially where temperature swings or chlorine levels fall too low. The investigation

also models the hydraulic age of water—how long it has been traveling through the system—and links that age to the rate at which chlorine decays. By fitting the data to first‑order and second‑order decay equations, the research creates a mathematical framework that estimates bulk (kb) and wall (kw) reaction coefficients. This modeling helps optimize secondary chlorination stations and keeps safe residual disinfectant levels throughout the city’s water supply.
