The main objective of this research was to
develop a methodology to evaluate the relative vulnerability of municipal drinking water utilities to pathogenic microbiological contamination. Specific objectives included:
to identify and quantify indicators to evaluate the vulnerability of drinking water utilities to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms;
to classify the drinking water utilities under study according to their relative vulnerability to microbiological contamination of drinking water; and,
to evaluate the feasibility of applying the obtained methodology to the proposed indicators. Topics covered related to methodology included: region under study;
selection of drinking water utilities;
indicators development and classification;
data acquisition; and,
data treatment. Topics outlined under results and discussion include: drinking water utility (DWU) description;
Microbiological Risk Value for each DWU;
Model Validation;
Sensitivity analysis; and,
Feasibility analysis.
