Microbiological Quality of Source Waters for Water Supply

Protection of drinking water from contamination by human or other animal excrement in sewage, food processing wastes, and stormwater runoff is of paramount importance to everyone. Public health concerns must also include consideration of the availability of a continuous supply since water is essential to sustain life, with a prime consideration given to the production of water that is free of pathogenic agents and significant levels of toxic chemicals and is aesthetically pleasing in taste and appearance. More often than not, these basic requirements involve protection of water sources, conservation of water resources, and treatment to varying degrees to achieve the desired objective— a safe, continuous supply of drinking water.
