Intermittent water supplies (IWS), in which water is provided through pipes for only limited
durations, serve at least 300 million people around the world. However, providing water …

Discoloured drinking water, caused by elevated concentrations of organic and inorganic
particles, is unacceptable. It occurs due to accumulation and subsequent mobilisation of …

Microbial biofilms formed on the inner-pipe surfaces of drinking water distribution systems
(DWDS) can alter drinking water quality, particularly if they are mechanically detached from …

Temperature variation can promote physico-chemical and microbial changes in the water
transported through distribution systems and influence the dynamics of biofilms attached to …

Drinking water quality deteriorates during transportation through drinking water distribution
systems (DWDS). Microbial activity and ecology, particularly within biofilms that occur on the …

Drinking water discoloration is one of the most common customer complaints. The
accumulation of residual manganese (Mn) in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) …

In this study, Se-doped Fe3O4 with antibacterial properties was synthesized using by a
coprecipitation method. The chemistry and morphology of the Se doped Fe3O4 …

The majority of biomass within water distribution systems is in the form of attached biofilm.
This is known to be central to drinking water quality degradation following treatment, yet little …

Biofilms are the dominant form of microbial loading (and organic material) within drinking
water distribution systems (DWDS), yet our understanding of DWDS microbiomes is focused …

The effect of UV/Cl 2 disinfection on the biofilm and corrosion of cast iron pipes in drinking
water distribution system were studied using annular reactors (ARs). Passivation occurred …
