• Source waters from all three watersheds serving the lower mainland are naturally corrosive.
• Focus of research study was to look at the chemical & physical parameters affecting the corrosion rate of water mains in the City, specifically cast iron.

DRINKING WATER GOAL
Corrosive waterNon-Corrosive water
1. Developing predictive models to assess the waterpotential for corrosion and iron concentration level
2. Providing a visual user-friendly computational tool toconsistently monitor the water corrosivity with minimuminput requirement
