Abstract

This project developed a process for the ecological assessment and characterization of the microbiota found in distribution systems. The project also documented the study of the microbial ecology related to distribution systems so that other utilities and researchers can better understand the microbial community structures related to the distribution system. Research partner: Public Utilities Board Singapore. Published in 2012. The final report is a summary of three journal articles based on the research.
