This textbook provides a comprehensive review of the problems

associated with the supply of drinking water in the developed

world. Since the first edition of this book was published, water

companies and regulators have been presented with numerous new

challenges - global warming has seriously affected water supplies

and water quality; advances in chemical and microbial analysis have

revealed many new contaminants in water that were previously

undetectable; and recent terrorist attacks have demonstrated how

vulnerable water supplies are to contamination or disruption. This

new edition includes an overview of the current and emerging

problems, with potential solutions. It has been completely updated,

and includes the WHO Revised Drinking Water Guidelines. An ideal

textbook for courses in environmental science, hydrology,

environmental health and environmental engineering; it also

provides an authoritative reference for practitioners and

professionals in the water supply industry.
