In conjunction with CE and SP a vulnerability assessment must be performed of the water distribution system. b. Chlorine Demand. As a minimum, chlorine demand should be used as an indicator of water potability. Chlorine demand is determined by checking the chlorine level and then resampling the source after 30 minutes and comparing results to determine if there is a "demand". c. Bacteriological Monitoring. Bac'ts should be performed on a spot-check basis until a decision is made if the water distribution system is to be used to provide potable water. If the water distribution system is approved as the source for potable drinking water, monitoring should be performed on a weekly basis as a minimum. d. Water Buffalos & Lyster Bags. Don't forget about the water buffalos and lyster bags that are in use through-out the base. These assets have to be monitored periodically also. Chlorine residual monitoring and sanitary surveys are essentially all that is needed. Ensure the water spigots are high enough off the ground that wild animals can not use them as a water source. NOTE: Cool water can be obtained through the use of Lyster bags You'll find the water to be 10 to 20 degrees cooler from the Lyster bags than from the water buffalos. e War-time Biological & Toxin Monitoring Capability. We are developing this kind of monitoring capability. More information on this subject to follow. 3. Water Consumption. Personnel will have to drink large quantities of water to replace that which is lost due to the heat. Forced water intake may be required to get people to consume the required amount of water. Most people will not realize they are becoming dehydrated until its too late. It takes very little time to become dehydrated in desert conditions. 4.
