Water Security Plan Implementation Manual for Drinking Water Systems
ERNCIP Chemical and Biological (CB) Risks to Drinking Water Thematic Group
Water is a core infrastructure sector that serves communities and businesses on a daily basis. Clean drinking water sustains core functions of our society which makes safety and security of water infrastructure a top priority.
The implementation of security measures to counter hostile actions against the physical and cyber integrity of water supply systems and deliberate waterborne contamination requires an appropriate planning process incorporating risk assessment surveys, establishment of communication strategies, protocols and screening methods.
This manual provides a detailed basis for the creation and implementation of a Water Security Plan for drinking water systems, supporting water utility operators with the information and tools they need to develop a plan specifically for the security of their water supply systems.
An effective Water Security Plan, together with a continuously managed implementation, supports the optimization of equipment placement and resource allocation – either of human or economic nature – along the water supply system, as well as increasing the confidence level of the water utilities to be able to cope in case a chemical/biological contamination occurs.
