Creates a database of appropriate disinfection strategies and design criteria for each of the project participants. Statistically analyzes the database to draw more universal conclusions about the inactivation of the organism. Also provides a better understanding of the effect of water quality on disinfection of Cryptosporidium. Research partner: Kiwa N.V. Published in 2000.
