Blended Water Monitoring

What is Blending of Source Water?

Blending is the mixing of two or more source waters - including type (ground and surface) and/or origin. Blending can include a raw source water or treated water and is a strategy chosen due to water availability or to achieve certain water quality objectives. This section focuses on parameters needed when treated waters are used in blending and only parameters that affect the disinfection process.

Why should you be testing blended source waters?

Why Test When Blending Source Waters?

With analytical testing, you can:

  • Prevent unexpected water quality issues
  • Meet water quality objectives of blending
  • Keep disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in check
  • Optimize your coagulation/flocculation process

Explore the various parameters and methods involved when monitoring blended source waters below.

What parameters should you test in blended water?

Monitor for free chlorine when one of the blended source waters is a free chlorine treated water. The free chlorine value is used when the treated water is to be blended with a surface water which contains high levels of organic matter or contains ammonia. The chlorine will likely be consumed by the chlorine demand of the surface water but can react with ammonia to form chloramines or with the organic matter to form disinfection byproducts.
