| Abstract: | A farm-scale water supply system of Kibbutz Hamadia in Israel has been analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility of controlling water quality by using a multi-quality network so as to meet the various water quality requirements at the consumer outlets. The irrigation network has been analyzed in steady-state and transient conditions. The results show the importance of the setting of the degree of opening of the control valves to prevent a shift in the dilution point. The quality of water supplied to the consumers was found to change significantly during the transition period and the consequences of this lag time have been shown.This method offers an alternative to a dual or even multiple water distribution system. |
