TL;DR: Trimethylene glycol dimethyl ether (triglyme) was used to reduce the organic fouling tendency of RO membrane by triglymation.

TL;DR: The composition and correlation of bacterial communities from different phases helped to locate where most of the bacteria are and understand the interactions among these phases, and relatively stable bacterial communities in bulk water, pipe wall biofilm, and suspended solids throughout the distribution system were revealed.

TL;DR: In this review, DWDS bacteriology has been reviewed multidimensionally, including both the bacterial quantification and identification, with an emphasis on the subdivision of DWDS into four phases: bulk water, suspended solids, loose deposits, and pipe wall biofilm.

TL;DR: Anthropogenic pollutant release (both chemical and microbiological) in swimming pool water can be reduced by pre-swim showering, very likely resulting in decreased DBPs formation and chlorine demand.

TL;DR: Water quality changes, particle accumulation and microbial growth occurring in pilot-scale water distribution systems fed with normally treated and additional treated groundwater were monitored over a period of almost one year and it was concluded that particle accumulation can be controlled by reducing the particle load in water treatment plants; and the microbial growth can be better controlled by limiting organic nutrients rather than removing biomass in water Treatment plants.
