  "abstract": "This comparative hydrological analysis evaluates municipal drinking water management, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and disinfection protocols across New York City and Orlando, Florida. NYC’s extensive surface water reservoir system is contrasted with Orlando’s underground Floridan aquifer extraction. The report examines distinct contaminant profiles including aging lead plumbing distribution systems and per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in NYC, and disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and heavy metals in Orlando. Detailed public health guidelines are proposed for chemical residual monitoring, reaction timing, and transparent citizen notification during municipal water treatment adjustments.",
