This paper presents the analysis of the quality indicator of a subterranean raw water source, captured in Crăciunesti, Sighetu Marmatiei, followed by the description of the technological flow of capturing and chlorinating water with the aim of making it drinkable, and the analysis of the obtained values of the physical, chemical and bacteriological indicators. The period within which water quality was monitored for this paper covers four months (December 2016, March, April and May 2017). Within this period the analyses regarding water quality control were carried out by the laboratory of the Water Treatment Baia Mare. The analysis of the obtained results highlighted a series of problems regarding the existence of certain indicators/parameters with values above the legally admissible threshold with regard to water quality. The manganese found in raw water exceeds the admissible threshold by 160%, in December 2016, and by 120% in March 2017, but it is within limits during the months of April and May. The occurrence of colonies developed at 37 °C and 22°C in the raw water requires chemical treatment of the raw water aimed at disinfecting it. The parameters of drinking water correspond to the values admissible through the laws in force, the water being distributed to the consumers through the Drinking water distribution system in Sighetu Marmatiei.

Historic Data

Safe, clean drinking water is a foundation of society and water quality monitoring can contribute to ensuring this. A case study application of the CANARY software to historic data from a UK drinking water distribution system is described. Sensitivity studies explored appropriate choice of algorithmic parameter settings for a baseline site, performance was evaluated with artificial events and the system then transferred to all sites. Results are presented for analysis of nine water quality sensors measuring six parameters and deployed in three connected district meter areas (DMAs), fed from a single water source (service reservoir), for a 1 year period and evaluated using comprehensive water utility records with 86% of event clusters successfully correlated to causes (spatially limited to DMA level). False negatives, defined by temporal clusters of water quality complaints in the pilot area not corresponding to detections, were only approximately 25%. It was demonstrated that the software could be configured and applied retrospectively (with potential for future near real time application) to detect various water quality event types (with a wider remit than contamination alone) for further interpretation.

Bacteriological Parameters

The study presents the variations of the physical, chemical, microbiological and bacteriological parameters for water provided from two water resources intended for potabilisation, for use in domestic consumption and comparing the results with the legislation in force regarding the quality of drinking water. The two water resources intended for potabilisation are represented by the groundwater from the Capture of Crăciunesti (Tisa River) from Sighetu Marmaţiei and the second source of water is represented by the Firiza Dam, Baia Mare. For both water resources, the present paper presents the technological processes of treatment in order to obtain potable water, which is then distributed to the population through the drinking water distribution system. The study highlights the situation of the drinking water distribution system to the consumers in the 3 areas, the description of the catchments and the treatment technologies of the different water resources (surface water and groundwater) in order to fulfill the sanitary requirements for drinking water, as well as the results of the analyzes for the values of the physical, chemical, microbiological and bacteriological parameters obtained. The analysis of the results revealed value changes at the microbiological and bacteriological parameters only in the raw water, increased values of the turbidity in the raw water from the Firiza Dam, Baia Mare and increased values of the hardness parameter in the water from the underground resource from Sighetu Marmaţiei.

Drinking Water Distribution Systems

Physico-chemical and microbiological water quality in the drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) of five waterworks in Finland with different raw water sources and treatment processes was explored. Water quality was monitored during four seasons with on-line equipment and bulk water samples were analysed in laboratory. Seasonal changes in the water quality were more evident in DWDSs of surface waterworks compared to the ground waterworks and artificially recharging ground waterworks (AGR). Between seasons, temperature changed significantly in every sys-tem but pH and EC changed only in one AGR system. Seasonal change was seen also in the absorbance values of all sys-tems. The concentration of microbially available phosphorus (MAP, μg PO₄-P/l) was the highest in drinking water origi-nating from the waterworks supplying groundwater. Total assimilable organic carbon (AOC, μg AOC-C/l) concentrations were significantly different between the DWDSs other than between the two AGR systems. This study reports differences in the water quality between surface and ground waterworks using a wide set of parameters commonly used for monitor-ing. The results confirm that every distribution system is unique, and the water quality is affected by environmental fac-tors, raw water source, treatment methods and disinfection.

Mechanisms Of Formation

Lyon, France has the opportunity to distribute in abundance a groundwater resource with a good quality for drinking water. However, the length and the complexity of the distribution network can lead to consumer complaints in some areas of the water distribution system. In order to improve the organoleptic quality of distributed water, the water supplier wants to get a better understanding of potential taste and odour formation and to succeed in controlling it. Since 2006, activities have been taken with targeted analyses and sensory evaluation of water, taking into account both the consumers' private networks and the citywide distribution network. The first results were focused on the occurrence of bromophenols along the water distribution system, the understanding of the mechanisms of formation of such compounds, as well as their incidence on taste-and-odour events at the consumer's home.

This paper presents the analysis of quality indicators for two subterranean water sources, Suciu and Râoaia catchments, in Târgu Lapus, which are meant for domestic use. The period during which water quality was monitored covers two months (January and May 2018); during this period the control analyses of water quality were carried out in the laboratory of the Baia Mare Purification Station. The paper contains certain data regarding the need for water and the system for distributing drinkable water to consumers, the description of catchments and the subterranean water treatment technology required for meeting the sanitary conditions for rendering water drinkable, as well as the analysis of physical, chemical and bacteriological indicators obtained, compared to the legislation in force. The analysis of the results obtained highlighted a series of bacteriological indicators/parameters that were exceeded, as well as turbidity and hardness in the raw water from the subterranean catchments. The existence of colonies developed at 37 °C and 22°C in the raw water requires a chemical treatment of this water with the aim of disinfecting it. The parameters of the thus rendered drinkable water match the values accepted through the legislation in force, the water being distributed to consumers through the Drinkable water distribution system in Târgu Lăpuş.
