	Drinking Water - Water Quality
		The drinking water supply can be broken down into three parts: the source water, the drinking water treatment system, and the distribution system which carries the treated water to homes, businesses, schools, and other buildings.
		The multi-barrier approach to managing drinking water supplies is a preventive risk management approach that identifies all known and potential hazards and makes sure barriers are in place to reduce or eliminate the risk of contamination.
		If you work in the drinking water industry, you can find technical information about the multi-barrier approach to ensuring safe drinking water, documents about specific drinking water guidelines, and information about standards for products and materials that come into contact with drinking water.
