Biofilm detachment significantly affects biological stability of drinking water during intermittent water supply in a pilot scale water distribution system

Abstract Intermittent service provision (IWS) in piped drinking water distribution systems is practiced in countries with limited water resources; it leads to stagnant periods during which water drains completely from de-pressurized pipes, increasing the likelihood of biofilm detachment upon reconne...
