ABSTRACT
This type of forensic investigation refers to practical situations involving neighboring residential properties with recreational pools, with damages to one residence claimed as a result of water release from a neighboring pool. However, typically, multiple sources for the released water (i.e., multiple pools) are present in the immediate neighborhood, although the allegation usually involves one particular source. A lawsuit may or may not be filed at the time when the forensic investigator is brought to the scene. The challenge is to be able to track the source of released water when dealing with multiple similar sources and restricted sampling opportunities. This forensic investigation type is strategically described in Table 11.1.
