Comparison of Particle-Associated Bacteria from a Drinking Water Treatment Plant and Distribution Reservoirs with Different Water Sources

This study assessed the characteristics of and changes in the suspended particles and the associated bacteria in an unchlorinated drinking water distribution system and its reservoirs with different water sources. The results show that particle-associated bacteria (PAB) were present at a level of 0.8–4.5?×?103 cells ml?1 with a biological...

Wave overtopping simulator tests on Vietnamese sea dikes

Little is known about the strength of the land-side slopes of the Vietnamese sea dikes under overtopping attack. Some grass-covered slopes were tested by a wave overtopping simulator. The paper describes the simulator and presents the test results. The tested grass covers could withstand overtopping rates varying from 20 l/s to 100 l/s per meter...

Assessment of calculation methods for calcium carbonate saturation in drinking water for DIN 38404-10 compliance

The new German standard on the calculation of calcite saturation in drinking water, DIN 38404-10, 2012 (DIN), marks a change in drinking water standardization from using simplified equations applicable for nomographs and simple calculators to using extensive chemical modeling requiring computer programs. The standard outlines the chemical...

Waardevolle lessen na overstromingen in Thailand

Een verkenningsmissie na de overstromingen in Thailand in 2011 heeft meer inzicht gegeven in het functioneren van het waterkeringssysteem tijdens de ramp. Dijken bleken kwetsbaar door overloop, evenals de aansluitingen tussen dijken en constructies.
