Generalization and formalization of the US EPA procedure for design of treated wastewater aquifer recharge basins: II. Retrofit of Souhil Wadi (Nabeul, Tunisia) pilot plant
The ‘Cap Bon’ peninsula in Tunisia suffers from intensive tourist activities, high demographic increase and industrial development. As groundwater had been for a long time the main water source, aquifers had been subject to a severe depletion and seawater intrusion. Despite the measures taken prohibiting new drillings and water carrying by the construction of a waterway linking ...

Comparing risk-reduction measures to reach water safety targets using an integrated fault tree model
In the third edition of the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, the World Health Organization concludes that an integrated management of risks in source waters, treatment systems and distribution networks is the most effective way to guarantee safe drinking water to consumers. The integrated approach is fundamental to avoid sub-optimisation of risk-reduction measures. This paper presents an ...

Achieving sustainable water supply through better institutions, design innovations and Water Safety Plans – an experience from Nepal
Sustainable functionality of rural water infrastructures is a major challenge in Nepal, as elsewhere. This paper looks at systems for improved community-based water supply and sanitation management in the Rural Village Water Resources Management Project (RVWRMP), in mid and far west Nepal. The paper analysed 496 rural, community-managed drinking water and sanitation schemes (with 30 to 250 ...

Water safety planning for small water supply systems: the framework and control measures
A water safety plan (WSP) is a preventive comprehensive risk assessment and management approach to ensuring the safety of a drinking water supply from source to tap for public health protection. The concept was introduced in the last decade in international guidance documents and has been applied widely across a varied range of water supply systems, particularly, the public water utilities ...

Satellites monitor algae toxin levels to ensure drinking water safety
Imagine that your daily routine is disrupted by a sudden ‘do not drink’ advisory for your local tap water because of elevated toxin levels. This scenario became a reality for cities like Toledo, OH in 2014, affecting more than 400,000 residents. The source? Microcystins - toxins produced by cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as blue-green algae. As climate change and human ...
