Safe drinking water despite flooding.
Flood events pose a significant threat to drinking water supplies. When rivers burst their banks and flood entire regions, this can have a serious impact on water quality. The resulting challenges are manifold and require innovative solutions.
Challenges for drinking water quality during floods:
-
Contamination of water sources: Floods can contaminate surface waters such as rivers and lakes with pollutants originating from flooded industrial plants, agricultural land and sewage systems. Groundwater sources are also at risk, especially if sewage pits or sewage treatment plants are flooded.
-
Damage to infrastructure: Floods can cause significant damage to water treatment plants, pumping stations and distribution systems. This damage leads to interruptions in the water supply and makes water treatment more difficult. Burst pipes or other pipe problems can lead to contaminated water entering the drinking water network.
-
Increased turbidity and sediment: During floods, the amount of sediment and suspended solids in the water increases significantly. These increase the turbidity of the water, which can impair the effectiveness of water treatment and disinfection.
-
Microbiological contamination: Flood events can increase the concentration of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and parasites in the water. These contaminations pose a serious health risk, especially if the water is not sufficiently disinfected.
-
Chemical contamination: Chemicals from agricultural operations (e.g. pesticides, fertilizers) or industrial plants can enter drinking water through flooding. These chemicals can be harmful to health, even in low concentrations.
