Water treatment technology (original) (raw)
All living things require clean, uncontaminated water as the most crucial compound for life on Earth. Ideally, drinking water should be clear, colorless, and well aerated, with no unpalatable taste or odor, and it should contain no suspended matter, harmful chemical substances, or pathogenic microorganisms. Wastewater discharge from industries, agricultural pollution, municipal wastewater, and poor environmental sanitation are the main sources of water contamination Water treatment is the removal of those impurities/contaminants which makes the water undesirable for domestic, industrial, and other processes. Depending on the quality and type of water entering a water plant, treatment may vary. To ensure water does not present a health risk, nearly all water sources require treatment before they can be consumed. Replicating the earth’s hydrological cycle in which water is continuously recycled, the treatment enables the same water to be cleansed through several natural processes.

Water Purification Using Different Chemical Treatment
2019
Water from surface sources is often contaminated by microbes, whereas groundwater is normally safer, but even groundwater can be contaminated by harmful chemicals from human activities or from the natural environment. The purification process of water may reduce the concentration of particulate matter including suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, and a range of dissolved and particulate material derived from the surfaces. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, materials, and biological contaminants from contaminated water. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, such as medical, pharmacology, chemical, and industrial applications. In general, the methods used include physical processes such as filtration and sedimentation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or activated sludge, chemical processes such as flocculati...
Water is substantial for living creatures. Water resources are sources of water that are useful. Water resources itself contains of fresh water, salt water and ground water. Therefore water treatment is a process of making water suitable for its application or returning its natural state. The aim of this paper is to know water treatment process and how important this water treatment by giving some individual experience. Water treatment have some process, there are coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and then storage. And the aim of this water treatment that will explained and combine with experience is water treatment for agriculture development. Water treatment for drinking also explained by some process and combined. There is monitoring water quality which water systems monitor for a wide variety of contaminants to verify that the water they provide to the public meets all federal and state standards. There is no unique solution (selection of processes) for any type of water. Also, it is difficult to standardize the solution in the form of processes for water from different sources. Material got from reading some articles and combine it with experience.
Removing Pollutants Through Chemical Treatment for Water Quality Management
Water is one of the abundantly available substances in nature. It is an essential constituent of all animal and vegetable matter and forms about 75% of the matter of earth's crust. The per-capita water-demand for drinking and other domestic needs in a modern town varies from 100 to 500 liters a day. Whether we are poor or rich will be indicated by water sources. Main problem throughout the World is the water management. There is need to bring awareness in people in utilization of water, saving of water in industrial and agriculture. Quality of water and how to manage the water quality is important to protect the Environment and to save water. Waste water can be utilized by proper management through appropriate treatment for removal of pollutants. Water is one of the abundantly available substances in nature. It is an essential constituent of all animal and vegetable matter and forms about 75% of the matter of earth's crust. It is also an essential ingredient of animal and plant life. Water is distributed in nature in different forms such as rainwater, river water, spring water and mineral water. The reserves of water on the earth are immense, but they mostly contain salt water (i.e. sea water) which is unfit for drinking or irrigation purposes. However, fresh water is also available in considerable quantities. But its distribution over the Globe is uneven. The per-capita water-demand for drinking and other domestic needs in a modern town varies from 100 to 500 liters a day. Besides, water is also consumed in industry and agriculture (irrigation, cattle breeding), and when the total water-demand is considered, it increases by 10 – 12 times to per-capita need. No other compound can 55
