The abbreviation DWDS is the technical term for the entire distribution network through which treated water is transported from the water treatment plant to your kitchen. In scientific articles, DWDS refers to:
🧪processes such as corrosion, biofilm formation, metal release
🧪the chemical changes of water as it travels through the network
🧪quality losses after the actual treatment
So this is not about the water treatment plant, but about the quality losses of water in the pipe network until it reaches your household. Municipalities often advertise the quality of their water treatment plants, but what matters to you as a consumer is what arrives in your kitchen. Pipelines that are 20-50 kilometers long and 20-50 years old change the quality!
