Unlocking the Potential of Microbiological Testing: A Path to Enhanced Drinking Water Quality
❄
Webinar
Microbiological tests have long been a core piece in the toolkit for ensuring drinking water quality. However, without understanding outcomes and limitations with these tests, they can consume significant drain on resources without providing additional public health protection,
Join Neil Leat, Watercare Head of Microbiology, for this session exploring how we can enhance our use of microbiological tests. Relevant for all those responsible for using or reporting on microbiological tests, or developing drinking water policy.
Attendees of the webinar will be provided:
- Understanding of Limitations: Insights into the limitations of current microbiological tests.
- Consideration for Decision-Making: Understand the factors that need to be considered when selecting and using microbiological tests to ensure their effectiveness.
- An introduction to Health Outcome Targets: How they can be used to establish a quantitative benchmark for "safe water", facilitating a more objective evaluation of microbiological tests' efficacy, associated WHO guidance, and an example of how this has informed the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines
