Identifying challenges in drinking water supplies: assessment of boil water advisories in Norway (2008–2019)

Journal of Water and Health, 2021
The issuing of boil water advisories (BWAs) is a widely used response to microbiological contamination events in drinking water supply systems, and may therefore serve as an indicator for the access to safe drinking water.

QMRA in the Drinking Water Distribution System

Procedia Engineering, 2014
AbstractA Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) model was developed for contamination events after mains repairs. The sensitivity analysis showed that the contamination concentration is the most important parameter, next to the pathogen dose response relation. The time of opening valves and of consumption are also important parameters.

Deficiencies in drinking water distribution systems in developing countries [PDF]

Journal of Water and Health, 2005
Rapidly growing populations and migration to urban areas in developing countries has resulted in a vital need for the establishment of centralized water systems to disseminate potable water to residents. Protected source water and modern, well-maintained drinking water treatment plants can provide water adequate for human consumption.
