在配水系统中定期进行适当的水质采样，并及时分析和解释测试结果，对于确保向所有用水者提供安全饮用水至关重要。配电系统监控提供了重要线索，可以发现新出现的问题，以便在问题变得严重之前解决问题。本文介绍了小型供水系统的基本分布监测策略。介绍了三个监测领域:微生物污染物、腐蚀产物和消毒副产物。包括9篇参考文献。

Regular and appropriate water quality sampling in the distribution system and timely analysis and interpretation of test results are essential to assuring that safe drinking water is provided to all water users. Important clues are qavailable from distribution system monitoring that can detect emerging problems so that they can be solved before they become seriious. In this paper, basic distribution monitoring strategies for small water systems are described. Three areas of monitoring are presented: microbial contaminants, corrosion products, and disinfection byproducts. Includes 9 references.
