Inhaltsangabe

How do we assess and manage the actual risks from water contamination? Can we learn from previous experiences? What can be done in future? This book is the proceedings of the fifth conference on this topic and addresses these issues relating to drinking water and drinking water systems. With emphasis on effectively and efficiently managing the risks and threats and sharing experiences, it provides information on successful use of leading-edge technologies and best practice both now and for the future. With contributions from leading scientists and experts in academia and industry it offers a truly international perspective on our ability to deal with water contamination emergencies. Emphasis is given to prevention, strategy and unusual emergency incident situations relating to drinking water. The book will appeal across a diverse group from public health professionals, water companies and water security experts and regulators.

IWW Water Centre, Moritzstrasse 26, 45476 Millheim an der Ruhr, Germany


1 WATER SUPPLY AS A CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Concerns regarding security in water supply have been addressed after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre and following natural disasters in various places of the world. The yearly geo hazards report accounts for 820 natural catastrophes in 2011, with 50 major and 5 great natural catastrophes. Dominating natural threats for water infrastructure are seismic, meteorological,...
