Opportunistic Pathogens in Drinking Water Distribution Systems—A Review [PDF]

Microorganisms
In contrast to “frank” pathogens, like Salmonella entrocolitica, Shigella dysenteriae, and Vibrio cholerae, that always have a probability of disease, “opportunistic” pathogens are organisms that cause an infectious disease in a host with a weakened ...

Stability of Drinking Water Distribution Systems and Control of Disinfection By-Products [PDF]

Toxics, 2023
The stability of drinking water distribution systems and the management of disinfection by-products are critical to ensuring public health safety. In this paper, the interrelationships between corrosion products in the network, microbes, and drinking ...

Patterns of Arsenic Release in Drinking Water Distribution Systems. [PDF]

AWWA Water Sci, 2019
AbstractA retrospective analysis of 20 water systems from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Arsenic Demonstration Program demonstrated three patterns of arsenic levels at the tap after arsenic treatment of the source well water. Following an initial destabilization period, Pattern A systems (6/20 with low iron/manganese in source water and ...

Dynamics of Biofilm Regrowth in Drinking Water Distribution Systems. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2016
ABSTRACT The majority of biomass within water distribution systems is in the form of attached biofilm. This is known to be central to drinking water quality degradation following treatment, yet little understanding of the dynamics of these highly heterogeneous communities exists. This paper presents original information on such dynamics, with

Active eukaryotes in drinking water distribution systems of ground and surface waterworks [PDF]

Microbiome, 2019
Background Eukaryotes are ubiquitous in natural environments such as soil and freshwater. Little is known of their presence in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) or of the environmental conditions that affect their activity and survival. Methods

Water and biofilm in drinking water distribution systems in the Netherlands

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
To keep the high quality of drinking water in the future for non-chlorinated drinking water systems, knowledge about the variables that most strongly affect this quality is necessary in order to know where to focus on and possibly even change aspects of drinking water production and distribution.

Manganese deposition in drinking water distribution systems [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2016
This study provides a physicochemical assessment of manganese deposits on brass and lead components from two fully operational drinking water distributions systems. One of the systems was maintained with chlorine; the other, with secondary chloramine disinfection.

Bacterial populations in different parts of domestic drinking water systems are distinct and adapted to the given ambient temperatures

Frontiers in Water, 2023
Drinking water enters buildings with a given microbiological community composition. Within premise plumbing systems, the drinking water is subject to very different conditions and temperatures. Whereas part of the water stays cold, another part is heated

Deposition of manganese in a drinking water distribution system [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990
The deposition of manganese in a water distribution system with manganese-related "dirty water" problems was studied over a 1-year period. Four monitoring laboratories with Robbins biofilm sampling devices fitted to the water mains were used to correlate the relationship among manganese deposition, the level of manganese in the water, and the ...
