Description:

Water is our lifeline, and ensuring its security is a top priority. Thousands of water facilities, including reservoirs, wells and treatment plants work efficiently, and quietly, but even a small attack could have disastrous effects for a community, or even an entire state. Securing Our Water Supply: Protecting a Vulnerable Resource gives a unique look at protecting all types of facilities, equipment, assets and the general population. Author Dan Kroll presents a basic primer of the threats to our water infrastructure and the steps to prevent such an event.

Benefits for readers: An understanding of the vulnerabilities in the water supply; countermeasures to prevent and respond to an attack on a water facility; and, considerations for accidental or naturally occurring water contamination.
