While water safety plans (WSPs) are promoted globally, no study has evaluated whether risk matrices are comprehensively constructed to accurately assess risk. We used risk matrix criteria adapted from previous risk matrix research to evaluate risk matrices found in 12 templates across global jurisdictions. WSP templates were found using the WSPortal website and definitions of likelihood and impact were extracted from each template to assist in the evaluation of WSP risk matrices. Application of the criteria developed from a detailed mathematical analysis by Cox (2008) revealed that 11 of the 12 risk matrices evaluated contravene at least one of the risk matrix criteria. Furthermore, definitions of likelihood and impact varied widely across different jurisdictions, due in part to the system-specific nature of the WSP methodology. To improve risk matrix construction, we recommend: setting clearer risk level boundary criteria, aligning specific impact category definitions with water system objectives, and selecting specific impact categories as opposed to defining impact in several ways. Finally, we recommend risk matrix construction be reviewed as part of the WSP process to ensure accurate identification of key risks in a water system.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"329 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135392741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, applying these risk management approaches separately in small-scale drinking-water supply and sanitation systems might be challenging for rural communities with limited human, financial, and administrative resources. An integrated approach seems a better option. In this study, an integrated water and sanitation safety planning (iWSSP) approach was developed together with guidance and training material for the practical application of this novel approach. The integrated approach was piloted in three small systems in rural Serbia to identify benefits and suggestions for improvement which can be used for potential future scaling-up. Implementing iWSSP at the pilot sites contributed to a better understanding of both drinking-water supply and sanitation system. It also resulted in increased awareness, knowledge, and understanding among staff of drinking-water supply and sanitation services. Key experts, including external facilitators, played a crucial role in the implementation of iWSSP. Future scaling-up of the integrated approach could be enabled if more guidance, easy-to-use training materials and templates become available which can be adapted and updated as needed.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"15 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135932821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the prevalence and genetic distribution of 338 Legionella spp. isolates from 81 public bathing facilities, including 35 hot springs and 46 other facilities, through annual periodic surveillance in Kobe, Japan, from 2016 to 2021. In addition, the genotypes of nine clinical strains of unknown infectious source from the same period were compared to those of bathwater isolates. We elucidated the differences in the distribution of Legionella species, serogroups, and genotypes between hot springs and other public baths. Legionella israelensis, L. londiniensis, and L. micdadei colonized hot springs along with L. pneumophila. The minimum spanning tree analysis based on multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) also identified four major clonal complexes (CCs) in L. pneumophila SG1 and found that CC1 of the four CCs is a specific novel genotype with the lag-1 gene that occurs in hot springs. The same MLVA and sequence types as those of the clinical strains were not present among the strains isolated from bath water. Thus, our surveillance is useful for estimating the sources of legionellosis infection in Japan and developing prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"41 1-3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134908935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With over 20 years of WSP application, this collaborative paper prepared by the wholesaler and retailer utilities presents practical examples of drinking water quality risk management in challenging operational environments, highlighting lessons learnt, improvements made and outcomes achieved. Melbourne's supply systems comprise multiple types of supply sources, necessitating different tailored treatment configurations. Source waters range from an open catchment with multiple treatment barriers to protected catchment source waters requiring solely disinfection treatment (unfiltered) with gravity-driven supply. This makes for a diversity in case studies brought to this paper, and in turn a range of lessons likely to be of interest to the global WSP community. Discussion of the Melbourne utility experience highlights the importance of developing and continually improving control measures for ongoing (adaptive) risk reduction. A robust emergency management plan is also fundamental to ensure preparedness for complex and unpredictable events. Leveraging learnings from audits, incidents and events has also been valuable for process improvement.

Accordingly, the productivity of DBPFPs by M. aeruginosa increased by approximately 40% under the nitrate inhibition condition and the increased productivity of DBPFPs mainly came from EOM. The phosphate inhibition also performed a similar pattern with a lesser extent. The nutrient inhibition did not change the proportion of these three DPBFPs, and TCMFP accounted for approximately 87% of the total DBPFPs. The inhibition could promote M. aeruginosa to secrete more metabolites.

A systematic literature search was done by databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using search terms, ‘dengue fever’, ‘symptoms and causes of dengue fever’, ‘dengue virus transmission’, and ‘strategies to control dengue’. We reviewed relevant literature to identify hazards related to DHF and the most recent recommendations for its management and prevention. Clinical signs and symptoms of dengue infection range from mild dengue fever (DF) to potentially lethal conditions like DHF or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Acute-onset high fever, muscle and joint pain, myalgia, a rash on the skin, hemorrhagic episodes, and circulatory shock are among the most common symptoms. An early diagnosis is vital to lower mortality. As dengue virus infections are self-limiting, but in tropical and subtropical areas, dengue infection has become a public health concern.
