Abstract
The protection and prevention of contamination of an urban water supply system is a complex process which can be as simple as fencing off and preventing access to the contributing water catchment and as complicated as adding slow acting disinfectants in the treated water to protect it from contamination while it is being delivered through the distribution system. There are many other control strategies in fighting the contamination of water in an urban water supply, forming the multiple barrier system within that supply system.
