Water contamination events in UK drinking-water supply systems.
Water supply companies in the UK have a duty under prime UK legislation to notify the Drinking Water Inspectorate of events affecting or potentially affecting the quality of drinking-water supplies. Under the same legislation, the Inspectorate has a duty to investigate each event. After assessing all of the information available, including companies' reports, the Inspectorate advises on the way...
متن کاملContinuity in Drinking Water Supply
The benefits of having a continuous, piped supply of safe drinking water delivered to household premises are widely recognised. Piped supplies on premises not only reduce the time and effort required to collect water, and thereby increase the amount of water available for personal and domestic needs but also are more likely to provide water that meets required standards for drinking water quali...
متن کاملPublic Health Surveillance in Pilot Drinking Water Contamination Warning Systems
Introduction The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed a program to pilot multi-component contamination warning systems (CWSs), known as the “Water Security initiative (WSi).” The Cincinnati pilot has been fully operational since January 2008, and an additional four pilot utilities will have their own, custom CWSs by the end of 2012. A workshop amongst the pilot cities was conduct...
متن کاملVirus contamination from operation and maintenance events in small drinking water distribution systems.
We tested the association of common events in drinking water distribution systems with contamination of household tap water with human enteric viruses. Viruses were enumerated by qPCR in the tap water of 14 municipal systems that use non-disinfected groundwater. Ultraviolet disinfection was installed at all active wellheads to reduce virus contributions from groundwater to the distribution syst...
متن کاملNon-centralized Predictive Control for Drinking Water Supply Systems
This chapter discusses the application of non-centralized MPC (NCMPC) approaches to DWTNs. The aim of DMPC is to reduce the computational burden and to increase scalability and modularity with respect to the centralised counterpart, but still maintaining a convenient level of suboptimality with respect to the desired control objectives. Moreover, the advantage of NCMPC approach is the simplicit...
