Improving risk assessment and management in urban water supplies
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Sam Godfrey, Guy Howard, Charles Niwagaba, Sarah Tibatemwa, Kalanithy VairavamoorthyThe current approach to management of microbial risks
in distribution systems places a high reliance on the results
of testing indicator bacteria. There is evidence of the
fundamental weaknesses of sole reliance on such approaches
as the number of samples taken represent a minute proportion
of the water supplied and studies have demonstrated
that this approach results in limited protection of consumer
health (Payment, 1991).
