This document summarizes a training webinar on source water protection from a microbiological perspective for the food industry. The webinar will focus on current microbiological indicators for assessing water potability and best practices for source water protection and risk management. It will review indicators for water quality, illustrate how traditional approaches can fail to protect vulnerable groups, and present principles and recommendations for source water protection and risk management. The webinar will benefit laboratory supervisors, quality control and assurance managers, auditors, inspectors, and microbiological testing analysts.

1. Source Water Protection: Implications for the Food Industry
This training on source water protection will focus on current microbiological indicators for
assessing potability of water. Attendees will learn the best practices for the protection of
source water and risk management from a microbiological perspective.
Why Should You Attend:
Concepts of water “potability” need to be redefined. Our focus must change from water
treatment and monitoring to contamination prevention. Water sources must be protected through
adoption of a multi-barrier approach. The 1st stage in the multi-barrier approach is protection of
water sources from microbial pathogens. The 2 nd stage is Risk Management.
This webinar will focus on current microbiological indicators for assessing potability of water.
Areas Covered in the We binar:
Review basis for current microbiological indicators for assessing potability of water.
Illustrate, by example, the failure of traditional approaches for assessing water quality to
protect susceptible populations.
Present some principles and recommendations for source water protection and risk
management from a microbiological perspective.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all personnel in food production and processing
and analytical support services for food and/or water. The following titles will benefit:
Laboratory Supervisors and Directors, Managers
QC Auditors and Inspectors
Microbiological testing analysts
Regulatory Affairs
QC Managers
QA Managers
