Description

The book discusses the occurrence of micro-organisms in the distribution system, addressing the problem encountered in taking representative bacterial samples. The accumulation of micro-organisms on pipe walls and the multiplication of bacteria in the system are looked at, together with the effect of chlorination. The importance of planning, the objectives to be aimed at in sampling, and the general organization and setting up of control procedures form the central part of the text. The book culminates with two case studies which outline a simple and complex system.
