This book discusses different drinking water treatment technologies
and what contaminants each treatment method can remove, and at what
costs. The production of drinking water requires adequate
management. This book attempts to fill the existing knowlegde gap
about (a) water treatment technologies and their costs, (b) risk
assessment methods, (c) adverse health effects of chemical
contaminants, (d) management protocols, and varying regulatory
practices in different jurisdictions, and what successes are
possible even with small financial outlays. Addressing water
consulting engineers, politicians, water managers, ecosystem and
environmental activists, and water policy researchers, and being
clearly structured through a division in four parts, this book
considers theoretical aspects, technologies, chemical contaminants
and their possible elimination, and illustrates all aspects in
selected international case studies.Source-water protection, water
treatment technology, and the water distribution network are
critically reviewed and discussed. The book suggests improvements
for the management of risks and financial viability of the
treatment infrastructure, as well as ways toward an optimal
management of the distribution network through the risk-based
management of all infrastructure assets.
