Water safety plans - Book 1: Planning water safety management for urban piped water supplies in developing countries

Historically, global control of drinking water has relied upon infrequent testing of selected water quality parameters at specified points within a water supply. Weaknesses identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) in this approach have resulted in a fundamental change noted in the revised,...
