This conceptual analysis elucidates the microbial interaction inside municipal distribution pipes, subsequent deterioration in the quality of the supply water, and its impacts on public health. Literature review involved a total of 21 original reports on microbiological events inside the water distribution system were studied, summarizing the current knowledge about the build-up of microbes in treated municipal water at various points of the distribution system. Next, original reports from the microbiological analysis of supply water from Bangladesh were collected to enlist the types of bacteria found growing actively. A schematic diagram of microbial interaction among the genera was constructed with respect to the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of the supply water. Finally latest guidelines and expert opinions from public health authorities around the world are reviewed to keep up with using cutting-edge molecular technology to ensure safe and good quality drinking water for municipal supply.
本概念分析阐明了市政配水管网内的微生物相互作用、供水水质随后的恶化情况及其对公众健康的影响。文献综述共研究了21篇关于供水系统内微生物事件的原始报告，总结了目前关于市政处理水在配水系统各点微生物积聚的知识。接下来，收集了来自孟加拉国供水微生物分析的原始报告，以列出发现的活跃生长细菌的类型。根据供水的物理、化学和微生物质量构建了属间微生物相互作用的示意图。最后，对世界各地公共卫生当局的最新指南和专家意见进行了审查，以跟上使用前沿分子技术确保市政供水安全优质饮用水的步伐。
