Year Published: 2019 De facto reuse and disinfection by-products in drinking water systems in the Shenandoah River watershed De facto reuse is increasingly being studied among the variety of stressors that are relevant to drinking water systems that obtain their source water from surface waters. De facto reuse may influence the levels and types of precursors relevant to formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in surface water systems. DBPs such as...
