Water Distribution System Monitoring: A Practical Approach for Evaluating Drinking Water Quality

0.0

Despite the publication of the Lead and Copper Rule more than ten years ago, compliance is still a major challenge. Due to continuing modifications to the rule, the need for an alternative protocol for obtaining representative water quality samples has been expressed by the drinking water industry. This book explores new procedures and a monitoring device-already in use at several municipal water utilities-that provide higher quality water chemistry and microbiology data than by using other available methods. It outlines the new procedures and provides equipment lists and assembly instructions for the monitoring device as an open-source technology. Features: - Presents a new a monitoring technique for understanding the water chemistry and microbiology of a distribution system - Provides equipment lists and assembly instructions for the monitoring device as an open-source technology - Examines costs and economics of using this approach to demonstrete its economical utility - Desribes devives and methodology to assess chemical/metal/microbial balance and growth within water systems Audience:
