Impact of Flow Rate and Water Age on Opportunistic Pathogen Growth: Implications for Water Conservation, Fixture Design, and Policy
Water conservation efforts have led to a decrease of flow rates in buildings, increasing water retention time (WRT) and sometimes opportunistic pathogens (OPs) growth. A novel experiment with replicated distal pipes operated at commonly used flow rates was designed to evaluate the effects of water a...
