Disinfection is essential in the battle against waterborne disease; however disinfectants can also create unwanted by-products. These disinfection by-products or DBPs are a concern because they can potentially cause long term health issues. This creates a tough balancing act for utilities: protecting the public from waterborne disease while minimizing the occurrence and impact of DBPs. This ...

The water storage system is a critical component in the multiple-barrier approach to safeguarding water supplies. Storage facilities have a significant effect on the quality of water that flows through the distribution system and on to the customer’s tap. Unfortunately, storing water can also lead to the degradation of a water supply. Excessive water age causes problems such as microbial ...

A large number of sites around the world have been contaminated on a large scale with harmful substances. Europe alone is known to have over 20,000 of these ‘megasites’. In many cases, the contamination means that the sites can no longer be used. Led by the UFZ, scientists are working at specific locations to develop potential solutions for the revitalisation of contaminated megasites. This DVD ...
