AWWA WQTC71611

This Water Research Foundation effort surveyed over 400 stakeholders including utilities, regulators, engineers/consultants, vendors, and academics. It sought to identify and characterize acceptance, use, and barriers to expanded implementation of full-scale biological drinking water treatment. Specific applications and attributes of these processes were queried via an online survey and selected case studies. Case studies were developed both in the on-line survey and during telephone interviews. Information was solicited on contaminants, design, monitoring, operations, and effects of water quality and environmental conditions on performance. Includes figures.
