This volume brings together contributors from water regulators, and water suppliers in Europe and North America to discuss the main issues associated with reaching a cost-effective balance between microbial and chemical risks. Overviews of the latest research are presented alongside illuminating case studies of the practical approaches taken by water companies and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic.
