Chloramination as a disinfection strategy in potable water systems provides benefits such as a lower potential for disinfection by-product formation and improved disinfectant longevity in distribution systems. The significant challenge, however, relates to the shifting chemical equilibrium among ammonia, chlorine, and chloramine species. Premature decay of chloramine compounds can release free ammonia into distribution systems and lead to nit...

Alternative project delivery (APD) encompasses a spectrum of different methods for procuring and managing infrastructure assets. The spectrum starts with design–build, where a single entity is responsible for both designing and constructing a project. At the other end of the spectrum are public–private–partnership (P3) concessions, where a private entity not only designs and builds, but provides financing and operations and...
