Threats and Investment Options to Protect Our Drinking Water Distribution Networks
This article is a summary of conclusions derived from the 2006 analysis and report, “Reference Scenario – Systems Study of Priority Threat Contaminants in Water Venues,” published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was a cooperating partner. The report chose three realistic terrorism scenarios for a detailed, end‐to‐end assessment of threat, vulnerability, and consequences. A qualitative selection process for determining relevant priority water contaminants included the following elements: physical characteristics (e.g., taste, odor, color), route of exposure (e.g., oral, dermal), toxicity, stability in water, and the availability of medical treatment. In the end, three venues were chosen and analyzed with one contaminant of concern.
