Question

Water distribution systems for potable water are under hydraulic pressure to prevent contaminant intrusion. However there have been various reports on contaminant intrusion into water distribution systems. How can microbial contaminants enter into potable water distribution systems? List and discuss potential pathways of microbial contaminant intrusion. Water distribution systems for potable water are under hydraulic pressure to prevent contaminant intrusion.

Explanation / Answer

one way the microbials enters into water is due to improper fitting in distributing system and also due to leakages.

production type , contaminated area , type of contamination are all the main potential pathways depends . due to contamination we have to take some remedial measures like proper fitting and distribution system should be carried away from all drainage systems and also better to coat corrosion free material on the inner surface of pipes.
