“…According to the results of the overall assessment of WSP phases in Bukan, the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the system are obvious, so that the main focus is on management procedures and Hazard identification, which in this regard is closely in agreement with the study conducted by Byleveld and Banda [35,36]. On the other hand, the results of Mohammed Mustapha study in Nigeria, and Tavares were consistent with our study [37].…”

The transfer of water from the source to the consumption point is always associated with the possibility of contamination in any of its various components. To resolve this problem, the World Health Organization has considered a water safety plan. The purpose of this study is to implement water safety plan in the water supply system of Bukan city. This study was performed on Bukan’s water supply system in 2019–20 using a software to guarantee the quality of the water safety plan and the WHO and IWA guidelines. The software checklists were prepared and after confirming the validity of the translation and its facial and content validity, it was completed based on the records of the Water and Sewerage Company and interviews with experts. Out of a total of 440 points of full-application of the program and 392 points for the reviewed phases, 183.6 points were acquired and 43.7% of WSP-coordinated implementation was observed. The highest percentage of WSP-coordinated implementation (75.2%) was assigned to the validation stage with the highest point, and the support program stage had the lowest percentage of performance (1.1%). Among the major components of the water supply system, the final consumption point received the most attention from the system. Given the lifespan of the introduction and use of WSP in the world, it was expected that better results would be obtained from evaluating the implementation and progress of this approach in Bukan’s water supply system. However, the implementation rate of this program in this city compared to other cities in Iran, showed that according to the implementation time (one year), the obtained results are relatively convincing and good and the water supply system has a moderate level of safety.

“…HACCP principles have also been tailored to the context of water treatment and supply, focusing on its applicability to drinking water safety (Dewettinck et al, 2001; Jayaratne, 2008), and wastewater/sludge treatment, where the purpose was to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment process and the reduction of pathogens to meet the required criteria (Westrell et al, 2004). Additionally, HACCP‐based water safety plans have been established, to ensure safe potable water and to prevent qualitative and quantitative water supply deficits (Möderl et al, 2015; Roeger & Tavares, 2018; Tsoukalas & Tsitsifli, 2018).…”

This study proposes to adopt the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach and its seven principles to assist integrated flood management and transboundary cooperation in river basins, extending over more municipalities, regions, or states. Although HACCP was initially employed in the food production and processing industry to identify hazards and reduce risks throughout the production process, its principles have already been successfully applied to other sectors, such as water supply and wastewater treatment. The paper focuses (a) on the adaptation of the HACCP approach for integrated flood management, for example, for assessing the impact of planned upstream measures on downstream areas, and (b) on step 3 of the proposed Flood‐HACCP approach establishing critical limits for CCPs. For the demonstration purposes, the confluence of the Slovenian part of Drava River and its tributaries, Meža and Mislinja, is selected. Results indicate that keeping the Meža River discharge within the range of ±5% from its initial value would cause only minor local changes of flood situation within the selected case study area. On the other hand, variations to the Mislinja River discharge could change the flood situation to a greater extent and in a more diffuse way.

“…This approach aims at shifting surveillance from control at the tap to preventive management for the whole water supply chain. The WSP implementation has been shown to improve drinking water quality and public health as well as being crucial in management (Summerill et al, 2010a(Summerill et al, & 2010bGunnarsdottir et al, 2012a;2012b;Setty et al, 2017;Roeger & Tavares, 2018). The approach used in some European countries (e.g.…”
