Development of Mathematical Model for Determining the Quantity of Chlorine Required for Water Treatment.

In this paper, mathematical model for determining the quantities of chlorine required for water treatment was developed by considering the inter-relationship between water quality parameter such astemperature (T), pH and coliform counts (B) and the quantities of chlorine (Q
