Water temperature is often monitored at water sources and treatment works; however, there limited monitoring of the in drinking distribution system (DWDS), despite a known impact on physical, chemical microbial reactions which quality. A key parameter influencing soil temperature, influenced by urban heat island effects. This paper provides critique comprehensive summary current knowledge, policies challenges regarding research presents findings from survey international stakeholders....

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous microorganisms naturally resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants that can colonize drinking water supply systems. Information regarding the spread of NTM in specifically South America Colombia is limited. We aimed identify characterize present tap samples from Cali, Colombia. Drinking faucet biofilm swabs were collected 18 places, including city's three main treatment plants (WTPs). Filter-trapped material eluates (0.45 μm) swab washes...

<p>This study investigated the state of a service reservoir drinking water distribution network. Numerical simulation was applied to establish its flow pattern, mixing conditions, and free residual chlorine decay. The influence change in inlet configuration on these characteristics evaluated. Four scenarios were established with different level rate as differences between first three scenarios. fourth scenario evaluated assess configuration, momentum hydrodynamic conditions within...

At the international level, term “water security” (WS) has gained increasing attention in recent decades. operational WS is assessed using tools that define concept a variety of dimensions and sub-dimensions, with qualitative quantitative indicators parameters. The breadth concepts an obstacle to operationalisation water security (WS). Clearly, we need range diverse data evaluate However, there are several barriers designing optimal Data Gathering Strategy (DGS). Such strategy must strike...

Biofilms have been mainly recognised as pathogen reservoirs. Organic matter associated with biomass has also identified disinfection by-product (DBP) precursor. Then, it is important to understand the role of biofilms in this process drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs) assess potential health risks additional DBP production and exposure. This work presents a one-dimensional model simulate formation potentials two species DWDNs resulting from biofilm interactions chlorine. Following...
