Instructions for Blending Spreadsheet:
This spreadsheet is designed to calculate the pH that will result from the blending of two water sources using the
assumption that carbonic acid is the dominant buffer of the system. The uncertainty of estimation is higher for the case
where either of the water sources are saturated with respect to Calcium Carbonate because precipitation of carbonates
may occur before mixing of the two waters occurs. The possibility of precipitation before blending is indicated by the
CCPP calculations above zero, as indicated on the inputs page. Water Quality Inputs can be entered in the next three
worksheets, with the third worksheet designating the volumetric contribution of each water source, but other water
quality characteristics calculated based on worksheets, "Input-A", and "Input-B". The results of blending can be seen on
the worksheets, "Input-Mix", and "Mix Results." Reference calculations can be found on all the subsequent worksheets.
