Research Project Title: Achieving biologically stable water in the UK
Achieving biological stability is crucial for water utilities to meet regulatory requirements, as uncontrolled regrowth of microorganisms may have aesthetic and health consequences for consumers and generate significant cost for water utilities.
My project aims to better understand and assess biological stability from treatment to tap, in order to inform key water treatment and distribution practices that can guarantee aesthetically pleasing, safe drinking water.
