Abstract:
The main objective of the present research was to assess the environmental impacts of the provision of potable water supplies and sanitation projects, both during the construction and operation phases. The research was related to rural areas of developing countries. Field research was undertaken in the rural areas of the Northwest and Central regions of Iran. Data were obtained by observations and survey from the field, and a comprehensive questionnaire and literature review. Interviews were carried out by the author in households, particularly women, in four villages with a piped water supply

Abstract:
The author starts by revising the concept of public service, highlighting the idea of publicatio as an important element. With this taken into consideration, he points out that it is not possible to understand the concept of public service without the presence of ownership by the State. In this context, the concept of essential service arises as a technique that harmonizes social demands and the traditional conception of public service. All in all, these concepts are materialized to affirm that the nature of the service of drinking water and sanitation is of essential service, developing and a

The roles of vegetative dormancy and attachment to surfaces in the survival and growth of bacteria in potable water systems were investigated. Species present in the water were identified following isolation or direct observation of static batch enrichment cultures.

Prosthecate bacteria undergo bi- or poly-phasic life cycles involving asymmetric division to produce reproductive cells and dormant swarmer cells and their presence in tap water supports the theory that vegetative dormancy is an important survival me

Abstract:
A potable water distribution system (WDS) consists of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, control and supporting components. Traditionally, it has two basic functions. First, provides end users with potable water at sufficient pressures and good water quality. Second, provides sufficient pressure and flow for fire fighting. Currently, potable water is still the least expensive material for fire fighting. To accomplish these two goals, water utilities have to consider the integrity and security of the water network.

Abstract:
As stagnant water contacts copper pipe and lead solder (simulated soldered joints), a corrosion cell is formed between the metals in solder (Pb, Sn) and copper. If the resulting galvanic current exceeds about 2 µA/cm², a highly corrosive microenvironment can form at the solder surface, with pH <2.5 and chloride concentrations 11 times higher than bulk water levels. Waters with relatively high chloride tend to sustain high galvanic currents, preventing passivation of the solder surface and contributing to lead contamination of potable water.
