Question
Chapter 22.9, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
The growth of microorganisms in the distribution systems of water, to common human use can be stopped, by the removal of all the nutrients that are required for the growth of microbes. An alternative approach to this can be the maintenance of the uniform concentration of chlorine in the entire water distribution system.
