Agent-based modelling of water price negotiation for domestic water management in deurbanisation society of Kanazawa City, Japan
To coordinate urban development with domestic water demand, this paper introduced an agent-based model of household water consumption simulation (HWCSim) to simulate the volume of household water consumption regulated by government total amount control. An important water price negotiation module is embedded in HWCSim model to determine the charge price of water resource during government total ...

Quantitative analysis of microbial contamination in private drinking water supply systems
Over one million households rely on private water supplies (e.g. well, spring, cistern) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. The present study tested 538 private wells and springs in 20 Virginia counties for total coliforms (TCs) and Escherichia coli along with a suite of chemical contaminants. A logistic regression analysis was used to investigate potential correlations between TC ...
