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

While proactive monitoring costs money at the outset, having water quality problems is even more expensive in the long run. Delineating the economic and practical benefits of proactive monitoring, this book provides the tools for well-defined and measurable control of water quality compliant with current regulations yet adaptable to regulatory changes. The author explores new procedures and presents a monitoring device, already in use at several municipal water utilities, that provide higher quality water chemistry and microbiology data than other current methods. She outlines the procedures and includes equipment lists and assembly instructions for this open-source technology.
