Recreational water quality in the Breda canals

Netherlands urban canals are not designated as official bathing sites for recreation, and their water quality is not monitored routinely. The municipality of Breda has ambitious plans to ensure the recreational water quality in the Breda canals during the bathing season. <br/><br/>The purpose of this study was investigation of microbial water...

Changes in biofilm composition and microbial water quality in drinking water distribution systems by temperature increase induced through thermal energy recovery

Drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) have been thoroughly studied, but the concept of thermal energy recovery from DWDSs is very new and has been conceptualized in the past few years. Cold recovery results in a temperature increase of the drinking water. Its effects on drinking water quality and biofilm development are unclear. Hence, we...
