We begin with an overview of the physics of flow in water distributor networks, and the implementation used in the EPANET flow solver. The bulk of our results from the workshop are concerned with analysing simple flow networks and using the results to draw conclusions about the well-posedeness of both the forward and inverse problems. date: 1999 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/156/1/contaminant_transport.pdf identifier: Stockie, John (1999) Contaminant Transport in Municipial Water Systems.
