Sea water receding from the Gulf of Thailand causes salinity diffusion in the Chao Phraya River, Thailand, and the amount of northern water is reduced in the dry season. It has an impact on people, particularly the generation of tap water. The Samlae raw water pumping station is the major pumping station. The Ban Krachaeng subdistrict is located in Mueang district, Pathum Thani province, and is affected by saltwater intrusion, which causes the salinity level to exceed the recommended threshold. In order for the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA)'s water supply system to achieve the standard, the salinity index at the Samlae raw water pumping station is controlled to not exceed the surveillance threshold of 0.25 g/l in this research. A barrage dam consists of a number of large gates that can be opened or closed to control the amount of fresh water passing through. There is a Chao Phraya barrage dam which is across the Chao Phraya River at Chai Nat, the northern part of the focused area. The objective of this research is to demonstrate a onedimensional steady-state salinity measurement model in a river with a barrage dam. Irrigation is done in rivers with dams using the shooting method to estimate the solution. The results obtained from simulating simulated salinity measurements from Phra-Nakhon Tai Power Plant Station to Samlae Station demonstrated that the shooting method can be used to accurately estimate the solution. Freshwater flow velocity and salinity dissolving efficiency were discovered to be the most important elements controlling salinity levels. The suggested salinity control approach may help to regulate the salinity level until it reaches a normal level.

—The problem of salinity in tap water is a very important problem. Drinking water that is higher than the World Health Organization designation can greatly affect peo-ple’s health. In this research, a salinity management model is also applied in a river with a dam with an interpolation process for initial and boundary conditions. An unconditionally stable explicit finite difference scheme with the Lagrange interpolating polynomials for the initial and boundary conditions is utilized to estimate the saltiness level with a few conditions of a proposed model. The suggested computational technique allows for a clear consensus on the effects of realistic implementations for water supply processes.

A one-dimensional mathematical simulation to salinity control in a river with a barrage dam using an unconditionally stable explicit finite difference method

Salinity refers to the amount of salt in rivers, where the salt can be in many different forms. There are two main methods of defining the concentration of salt in water such as the total dissolved solid measurement (TDS) and the electrical conductivity measurement (EC). The salinity is measured by evaporating water to dryness and weighing the solid residue. The electrical conductivity measurement is measured by passing an electric current through the water and measuring how readily the current flows. The total amount of salt in the water can affect the taste of water. The World Health Organization’s guideline on water palatability is that water with a salinity level of less than about 0.50–0.60 g/L is generally considered to be of a standard level. The drinking-water becomes significantly and increasingly unpalatable at salinity levels greater than about 1.0 g/L. In this research, a one-dimensional mathematical model of salinity measurement in a river is proposed. A modified model of salinity control in a river with a barrage dam is also introduced. An unconditionally stable explicit finite difference technique is used to approximate the salinity level under several conditions from the proposed model. The proposed computational technique gives good agreement results in realistic scenarios for water supply processes.
