Reducing the risk how do we quantify microorganism removal for safe drinking supplies?

“Managing the microbial safety of drinking water produced from faecally-contaminated water is changing from end product monitoring to a more preventive strategy using quantitative risk management. Two books published recently by IWA Publishing explore quantification of the elimination of pathogenic micro-organisms in water treatment as an important input for this preventive strategy. Wim Hijnen explains.”
