The WATer MANagement model (WATMAN) was expanded for application to small water systems serving populations of 100–10 000 so that the economics of alternative solutions to meeting new water quality standards can be evaluated. Two hypothetical cases and two actual situations were tested with the model to select preferred water supply options.
