Literature Review: Advancing Understanding of Microbiomes in Drinking Water Distribution Systems and Premise Plumbing Using Meta-omics Techniques

Determines how microbial pathogens enter the distribution system, particularly when treatment appears to be providing adequate multiple-barrier protection, and estimates the extent of pathogen contamination by different sources...

Legionella pneumophila is detected sporadically in treated drinking water and is suited for survival under conditions typical of distribution systems. Although data are abundant on the potential for...

This research developed and validated novel surrogates for awarding virus log reduction values (LRVs) in membrane-based potable reuse systems. Specifically, the project involves three research themes: (1) development...
