Overview of standards/guidelines and current practices for vulnerability assessment of drinking water security in European Union. ERNCIP thematic group Chemical and Biological (CB) Risks to Drinking Water. Task 2, deliverable 2.1 - Estudio

Abstract

The assets associated with the production and supply of drinking water are regarded as critical infrastructure (CI) that must be protected against a wide range of incidents that could compromise its integrity. Of concern are those incidents that occur infrequently and often with little or no prior warning and have the potential to cause major contamination or disrupt the supply of drinking water. Member States have included the security of water supply in their national security plans and have conducted vulnerability assets.
