How Can Transparency and Accountability Improve Water Management? In this video, Anicet Blanch, Full Professor at the University of Barcelona, shares his expertise on how transparency and accountability play a crucial role in water management practices. Using Key Performance Indicators #KPIs and regular reporting ensures that water quality is effectively managed and fosters trust among stakeholders. Microbial indicators, for example, provide essential data to track contamination levels, while KPIs measure the success of water treatment processes. By openly sharing these metrics, organizations can enhance confidence, improve public health outcomes, and support environmental sustainability.

Ha pasado ya una semana desde las terribles inundaciones causadas por el temporal DANA en la provincia de Valencia. Mientras siguen todos los trabajos de rescate, limpieza, evaluación de daños y recuperación de la normalidad, han comenzado a aparecer los primeros informes sobre afectaciones por gastroenteritis relacionadas con la mala calidad del agua. Estos incidentes nos recuerdan que situaciones de catástrofe natural pueden comprometer seriamente la seguridad del agua potable. Las escorrentías intensas que provocan estas lluvias torrenciales no solo causan daños visibles, como la destrucción de infraestructuras o el desbordamiento de ríos. Uno de los riesgos menos evidentes, pero igual de preocupante, es la contaminación del agua. El agua que arrastra estas escorrentías puede contener productos químicos, residuos agrícolas, e incluso contaminación fecal que, al mezclarse con las fuentes de agua potable, pone en riesgo la salud pública. Ya se han detectado en Algemesí los primeros casos de infecciones derivadas de las aguas estancadas, que pueden convertirse en focos de patógenos si no se manejan adecuadamente. Las escorrentías no solo afectan a los cuerpos de agua superficiales; también pueden dañar las captaciones de agua potable, las redes de distribución y los depósitos de almacenamiento, lo que multiplica el riesgo de que agua no apta para el consumo llegue a los hogares. Por ello, ante escenarios como el que estamos viviendo, es esencial replantear los planes de vigilancia de la calidad del agua. Aumentar el control de estos sistemas se vuelve imperativo para garantizar que el agua que se consume siga siendo segura. La calidad del agua no es solo un bien a cuidar en tiempos de estabilidad; su vigilancia se vuelve aún más crítica en tiempos de crisis. Nuestro pésame y solidaridad para todas las víctimas y personas afectadas por el temporal DANA en la Comunidad Valenciana. BLUEPHAGE queda a disposición de todas las empresa de abastecimiento que requieran de este análisis urgente o bien de aquellos vecinos que con su fuente de suministro propia quieran comprobar si ha quedado afectado por alguna contaminación. https://lnkd.in/dXhHKUKA

Anicet Blanch, Professor of Microbiology at the University of Barcelona, discusses the importance of #RiskAssessment in maintaining the safety of #DrinkingWater. With the implementation of the new European Commission Directive 2020/2184, the inclusion of somatic #coliphages as a key parameter highlights a critical step forward in water quality monitoring and risk analysis. 💡 Why is microbial risk assessment essential? 👉 Effective risk assessment in water management helps us to: Identify sources of contamination such as pathogens (bacteria, viruses, protozoa). 👉 Assess risks of exposure to diseases such as cholera, dysentery and norovirus. 👉 Implement control measures (e.g., disinfection, source protection) to ensure safety and availability of clean water. Watch the video to learn how these practices safeguard public health and improve water quality management! #WaterQuality #RiskAssessment #Microbiology #SafeWater #Sustainability #EuropeanRegulation #CleanWater #Coliphages

Buenas noticias para el medioambiente y la salud pública! 🚰 🌏 Ayer 22 de octubre se publicó el Real Decreto 1085/2024 que regula la reutilización del agua y actualiza varias normativas sobre la gestión de recursos hídricos. En él se aborda el control de #bacteriófagos, en especial los #colífagos somáticos, recomendando su control como indicador de seguridad microbiológica, particularmente en los casos donde el agua regenerada se utiliza en actividades agrícolas, industriales, y de riego urbano. Si no es posible analizar todos los colífagos, se permite el análisis de al menos uno de ellos, como los colífagos somáticos o los F-específicos. Este decreto refuerza la importancia de los bacteriófagos como herramienta para evaluar la efectividad de los tratamientos de desinfección del agua regenerada. Se especifica que los #colífagos son útiles para identificar la presencia potencial de virus entéricos, con el fin de garantizar la seguridad sanitaria, especialmente cuando el agua reciclada se utiliza en situaciones donde puede haber contacto directo con personas o animales. En #Bluephage celebramos este paso importante en la gestión #sostenible del #agua en España, ya que con la aplicación de estos controles, se activa una importante fuente de suministro de agua que permite liberar otros recursos de mejor calidad para que sean destinados al subministro del agua potable.

En el marco del VI Congreso Nacional del Agua, celebrado en Orihuela los días 7 y 8 de octubre de 2024 y organizado por la Cátedra del Agua de la Diputación de Alicante, se presentó el Estudio comparativo de dos métodos de detección y cuantificación de colífagos somáticos en agua, realizado por Aguas de Alicante y el Departamento de Microbiología de la Universitat d'Alacant. El estudio compara el método tradicional ISO 10705-2 (enumeración del concentrado) y ISO 10705-3 (concentración de muestras) con el #Bluephage Easy Kit (BP1604 para 100 mL), una alternativa que simplifica el proceso al incluir todos los consumibles listos para usar y eliminar el paso de concentración de muestra. Los resultados mostraron que el Kit Bluephage ofrece una mayor tasa de recuperación (79,4%) en comparación con el método ISO (67,4%), lo que refleja una mejor precisión en el análisis. Además, el kit mostró una menor incertidumbre en los resultados (30,73% frente al 31,65% del ISO), cumpliendo ambos métodos con los estándares de precisión establecidos. Si bien el método ISO es más económico a largo plazo, el Kit Bluephage es una solución práctica y eficiente para laboratorios con menor volumen de muestras. Agradecemos al equipo de Aguas de Alicante y la Universidad de Alicante por su trabajo, que impulsa avances importantes en la eficiencia y precisión de las pruebas de calidad del agua. https://lnkd.in/ddwsvu-x

The latest "Europe's State of Water 2024" report by the European Environment Agency was released today, which addresses the critical challenges facing European water management. With a focus on reclaiming water—especially for agricultural use, the main driver of water pollution—this report emphasizes the urgent need for improved water resilience. The report highlights three key areas: 💧 Protecting and restoring aquatic ecosystems ✅ Achieving zero pollution goals 🏜 Adapting to water scarcity, drought, and flood risks As the report indicates, the health of Europe's waters is under significant threat. At Bluephage, we contribute to this effort by providing tools for detecting viral contamination, helping to ensure the safety and sustainability of reclaimed water, and protecting the environment. This is crucial for reducing pollution and safeguarding water resources for future generations. Let's work together towards a cleaner, more resilient water future! https://lnkd.in/dUkiAwUq
