Abstract

Water companies consistently strive to produce drinking water that meets the quality standard of "wholesomeness" using the most cost-effective approaches. This is an ever-more complex challenge, as new drinking water contaminants are continually being discovered and new technologies and processes are developed. It can be very difficult to keep up with the latest technical information, but it is crucial for water companies to be aware of emerging water quality issues and the good practices that may be appropriate for addressing these issues into the future. This technical seminar, last held in 2010, will share new information and experiences on topics relating to drinking water treatment, emerging contaminants, storage and water distribution.
