An enormous amount of information is available these days, especially to anyone with access to the internet. A few key words entered in a search engine will take you to a vast range of sources from which to choose. Information on subjects related to water and health in the form of leaflets and guidance notes (online and print) from official sources is available in many countries. For example, in the UK, the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) publishes leaflets for consumers on the quality of drinking water covering a wide range of topics including chlorine, fluoride, Cryptosporidium, pesticides, lead, nitrates and many more (DWI, various dates). The DWI also offers an enquiry service for anyone with additional questions not covered by the leaflets.
Real-time monitoring of microorganisms in potable water using online sensors
Published in Maximilian Lackner, Philipp Stadler, Wilhelm Grabow, Handbook of Online and Near-real-time Methods in Microbiology, 2017
Currently, the development of various sensors and online monitoring systems is progressing rapidly. These technologies can have clear and multiple benefits for water utilities, such as lower costs and real-time detection. However, many of these technologies need to be improved further and have not been tested in real world scenarios. With most new technologies, there are still problems with robustness, sensitivity, precision, reproducibility, and reliability. On the other hand, most online sensors are utilized for physicochemical parameters such as TOC, turbidity, pH, and water temperature. Other parameters include free chlorine, fluoride, spectral adsorption, and conductivity. Sensors for microbial contaminants are less frequently utilized by water utilities. Following are major issues related to continuous online sensors:False negativesFalse positivesLimit of detectionDetection of microbial contaminants via a real-time triggerIdentification of treatment failuresIntegration of software data managementDevelopment of SCADA systemSensor maintenance & cost ev aluation
Perceived vs measured water supply service: evidence from New Zealand
Published in International Journal of Water Resources Development, 2022
Contrary to popular rhetoric, consumers’ perceptions about their water supply systems are significantly and rationally correlated with measured performance in nearly every dimension we examined. Consumers notice the performance of their water supply system. They perceive differences in chlorine, fluoride, pressure, service interruptions and leakage. Notably, our study was the first to identify that awareness of fluoride status, water pressure, number of water sources and traditional Maori water values all have a significant impact on perception of protection from microorganisms.
