Predicting the concentration of brominated trihalomethanes in drinking water

Abstract

The paper presents a method for predicting the content of brominated trihalogen methanes in drinking water depending on turbidity, chromaticity, oxidizability of water source water and chlorine dose. It was found that the mathematical approach associated with the shift of time series of water quality indicators is appropriate to use only for describing the content of bromodichloromethane depending on water quality indicators (turbidity, color and oxidizability). The introduction of chlorine dose as an independent variable into the multiple regression equation does not improve the quality of the model.
