Stagnation

Legionnaires' Disease - Operation and Maintenance Log Book (BG 58/2015), written by Reginald Brown and Salim Deramchi, and published by BSRIA in May 2015, defines stagnation as: ‘The condition where water ceases to flow and is liable to microbiological growth.’

NB The word stagnation may also be used more generally to describe a period during which there is a lack of activity, growth, or development.
