Question

What are typical concentrations of pathogens in raw water used for drinking water?

Answer

+ Show code - Hide code

library(OpasnetUtils)

objects.latest("Op_en7953", code_name = "variable")

oprint(RawConcentration)

Rationale

Raw water has been categorized based on its source and cleanliness:

Ground water - clean
- Clean groundwater
Groundwater - surface water contamination
- for ex. shore infiltration
Surface water - low contamination
- Relatively clean surface water
Surface water - medium contamination
- for ex. low waste water contamination
Surface water - high contamination
- for ex. waste water contamination

Data

The concentrations are based on experts' estimates on concentrations of different pathogens in different kinds of raw water sources and contamination situations. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Calculations

Put the data in this page into an ovariable

+ Show code - Hide code

# This is code "Op_en7953/concentration" on page [[Pathogen concentrations in raw water]]
library(OpasnetUtils)

RawConcentrationAll <- Ovariable("RawConcentrationAll", ddata = "Op_en7953", getddata = TRUE)

objects.store(RawConcentrationAll)
cat("Ovariable RawConcentrationAll saved.\n")

The raw water default class: Surface water - high contamination

+ Show code - Hide code

# This is code "Op_en7953/rawclass" on page [[Health impact of waterborne microbes]]
library(OpasnetUtils)

RawClass <- Ovariable("RawClass", data=data.frame(RawWaterClass = "Surface water - high contamination", RawClassResult = 1))

objects.store(RawClass)
cat("Ovariable RawClass saved. \n")

Use the ovariable to only include data from one raw water class

+ Show code - Hide code

# This is code "Op_en7953/variable" on page [[Pathogen concentrations in raw water]]
library(OpasnetUtils)

RawConcentration <- Ovariable("RawConcentration", dependencies = data.frame(
                                  Name=c("RawConcentrationAll", "RawClass"),
                                  Ident=c("Op_en7953/concentration", "Op_en7953/rawclass")
                                  ),
                                  formula = function(...){
                                    # Use the rows of RawConcentration with the right type of raw water
                                    return(RawConcentrationAll*RawClass)
                                  }
)

objects.store(RawConcentration)
cat("Ovariable RawConcentration saved.\n")
