Water utilities have long been targets of vandalism.
Now, they have to guard against terrorism, too.
Consider how vulnerable reservoirs, water towers, and treatment plants
are to simple vandalism, and then multiply that risk by a factor of evil
intent to cause harm. How safe is your water supply infrastructure from
a deliberate act of aggression? New Horizons: Critical Infrastructure
Protection, a new video program from AWWA, is designed to stimulate
discussion among utility managers and community leaders. Water
supply infrastructure vulnerability, emergency response plans, and
threats such as physical damage, bioterrorism, chemical
contamination, cyberattack, and other intentional acts of destruction
are covered in this important program.
