Aesthetic Prowess J. Am. Water Works Assoc. (IF 0.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Kenneth L. Mercer
Drinking water is subject to a range of regulations meant to ensure it is safe, but if it tastes, smells, or looks bad, people won’t want to drink it. With their severity and duration exacerbated by climate change, aesthetic water problems can develop anywhere in the system from source to tap. And while these events aren’t typically associated with human health risks, that's not always a safe assumption
