Microorganisms thriving in drinking water distribution system (DWDS) reduces biological stability of water, causing numerous threats to residents' drinking water safety. Traditional disinfection methods have intrinsic drawbacks, including microbial reactivation and byproduct formation, leading to waterborne diseases. Thus, effective disinfection techniques are required to ensure the microorganism's inactivation and enhance biological stability.

These rivers are considered fluvial hydrological forces and geological limits of the aquifer, located in this sub-basin. For this reason, our investigation addressed the field capacity in the micro-basins of Chibunga and Guano rivers, to determine the maximum retention potential, i.
