Booster chlorination is a distribution system residual maintenance approach, involving the addition of disinfectant at remote locations in the water distribution network. This project investigated the potential advantages associated with booster disinfection, the kinetics of chlorine decay and trihalomethane (THM) formation under rechlorination conditions, and the systematic use of network hydraulic and water quality models to locate booster disinfection stations and determine their dose characteristics.
