Make Good Sampling Your Campaign: Venturing Out Under New DWQAR Rules as a Small Supplier
Last year, the Dungeons and Dragons rules were revised for the first time in ten years. Favourite rules of mine, some of which were purely for setting game tone and others which were mechanical and balance-adjusting, were tweaked and adjusted. Because of this I have had to learn a valuable lesson – good practice doesn’t just come from the people who make the rules. Every game rules problem in D&D can be fixed at the table by discussing the issues between players and game master and house-ruling whatever makes the game better. It’s one of those features that makes tabletop roleplaying games still relevant, and distinct from comparable video games.
Principle 6: Apply a preventive risk management approach
In our everyday lives we constantly think ahead of what we may encounter, and we plan ahead. You are going on a holiday and you’re unsure if it might rain? You bring your raincoat anyway. There is no phone reception where you’re going? You may let someone know when you should be back. These are examples of how we apply preventive risk management in our daily lives. The same approach is expected of a water supplier.
Principle 5: Suppliers must own the safety of drinking water
Drinking water suppliers must maintain a personal sense of responsibility and dedication to providing consumers with potable water
Principle 4: Change precedes contamination
How are two contamination events, in completely different countries and years apart similar? Tim Miskimmin gives us insights as to how the events at Havelock North 2016 are eerily similar to an event that took place in Canada, 16 years earlier.
Principle 3: Maintain multiple barriers against contamination
What does maintaining multiple barriers against contamination actually mean in a water treatment context? Jonathan Church looks at practical examples of the different barriers that have been put in place in the past and describes what he sees as some of the common failure points.
Principle 2: Protection of source water is of paramount importance
It seems like common sense; however, the protection of your source water can often be overlooked in the process of creating your treatment process. Join Shaun as he discusses the importance of source water protection, as well as how his understanding of Te Mana o te Wai has helped to remind us all of the importance of safe, clean water.
