Waterborne Diseases in the US
This book examines, in both a current and historical context, water-related illness in the U.S. Emphasis is placed upon the transmission of infectious diseases through contaminated drinking water supplies and those deficiencies in water supply systems which allow waterborne outbreaks to occur. Chapters have been included on the important etiologic agents responsible for waterborne outbreaks in the U.S., surveillance activities, regulations, water treatment to prevent the occurrence of waterborne outbreaks and procedures for investigating waterborne outbreaks. For completeness, discussion have been included on illnesses contracted by ingestion of contact with waters for bathing , swimming, or wading and chronic ingestion of low levels of chemical contaminants in drinking water; however, because of space limitations there are necessarily brief, and the reader is directed toward the provided references, which discuss these subjects in more depth.
Waterborne Pathogens
Updated from the 1999 edition, this manual provides critical information regarding waterborne viral, bacterial and parasitic pathogens. Each pathogen is described along with its health effects, and water treatment techniques for destroying the pathogens. Also covered are cross-connection control, dead-end flushing, and hydrant flushing. This manual is intended for water operators, engineers, water quality personnel and students to learn how to monitor, sample and test waters for pathogens, optimize treatment plant performance and maintain high water quality standards.

Northwest Epidemiologic Enteric Disease Study
Past studies suggest that source water quality may be an important predictor of the risk of endemic waterborne infection. However, the relationship between endemic infections and the risk of illness is unclear. A primary goal of the study was to estimate endemic levels of diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases. The primary objective of the study was to estimate the level of infectious gastrointestinal disease attributable to drinking water. A secondary objective was to determine if drinking-water-attributable endemic levels of gastrointestinal diseases are elevated in a community that uses unfiltered water from a well-protected surface water source.
