Notes:
The risks and severity of pollution events affecting surface waters have to be assessed from an inventory of pollution threats in each catchment, from regional and national statistics on pollution incidents, and from measurements on the travel and dispersal of pollutants in water courses. Inspection of factory premises, farms, and sewage treatment works commonly reveals ways of stopping potential sources of pollution. Other countermeasures include: bunding of chemical stores and handling areas; processing waste liquors on site; promptly notifying tanker accidents and other spills; broad band monitoring of river water quality; control of intake, buffer storage and water treatment, in light of pollution arrival and chemical data.
