Supplying treated greywater within buildings delivers continuous additional resilience and improvements in water efficiency. This includes the making available (by substitution) of resources suitable for non-potable purposes such as flushing toilets. Thereby, overall daily consumption pristine potable other lower quality uses is reduced. The empirical measurement turbidity was confirmed an accu...

Recently, Fielding and Roiko found that information provision affects knowledge of and support for potable recycled water. However, recent cultural-sociological insights suggest that such effects are not universal. A re-analysis of the original data reveals the relevance of cultural predispositions: significant effects only exist in specific subgroups of the population. Only those who are comfo...

A simple and compact virus-adsorbing unit for efficiently concentrating human enteric viruses from 100 gallons (about 380 liters) or more of potable water is described.

The consequences of this year's El Niño on heat and precipitation in North America are occurring against the Colorado River Basin's ongoing 20-plus-year megadrought regional water supply challenges across United States. It is no surprise that AWWA's 2023 State Water Industry Report (SOTWI), long-term drinking availability second-highest rated challenge facing sector, with 57% survey participant...

Abstract Malaysia receives an abundance of rain annually (≈ 2400mm/year). The country, however, is not excused from water crises such as floods and shortages. According to the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) data, consumption in year 2021 201 LCD may encounter a shortage crisis if situation improved future. Rainwater harvesting (RWHS) has great potential tackling It can also combat sc...

Legionella spp. and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are opportunistic pathogens of public health concern. Hot water systems, including showers, have been identified as a potential source of infection. This paper describes the colonization of Legionella and MAC on the flexible tubing within a model potable shower system, utilizing thermostatic mixing and a flexible shower head. A MAC qPCR meth...

At low pressure and temperature, water is easily vaporized under partial vacuum pressure. Desalination of seawater as source of potable water is globally considered as an applied reliable technology. At low temperature and pressure, the heat transfer process yield is higher than any normal process. Therefore, the rate of vaporization of seawater is much higher than any usual processes. The part...

Volatile halogenated organic chemicals are found in indoor and outdoor air, often at concentrations substantially above those in remote, unpopulated areas. The outdoor ambient concentrations vary considerably among sampling stations throughout the United States, as well as diurnally and daily. The vapor pressures and air-water equilibrium (Henry's Law) constants of these chemicals influence con...
