Introduction
Water Treatment refers to any process
that improves quality of the water so
that it can be used for a specific
objective. The ultimate end use is
drinking, irrigation, river, and industrial
water supply, flow management, water
activities, or any other many additional
uses, including safely returning back to
the environment.

How Water
Treatment Plants
Make Water Safe?
To supply their communities with clean
drinking water, public drinking water
systems employ a variety of water
treatment techniques. Coagulation,
flocculation, sedimentation, filtration,
and disinfection are common water
treatment processes used in public
water systems.
Steps of
Water Treatment
Coagulation
Coagulation is the first stage in
the purification of water. This occurs when positive chemicals
combine. Charges are added to a remedy. The positive charge
in the liquid cancels out the negative charge. Contaminants
that have dissolved water particles charge when this the
particles mix with the when this chemicals to make somewhat
larger frequently utilized particles chemicals in this specific
salts, aluminum, or iron used at this step.
Coagulation
Flocculation
Flocculation comes after the step
in coagulation. It is a process of
water being gently agitated to
make denser, larger molecules
known as flocs. Often, water
treatment facilities adds chemical
agents during this to aid in the
flocs formation.
Sedimentation
Water treatment facilities employ
sedimentation as one of the
procedures to filter particles from
water. Because flocs are dense,
they settle to the bottom of the
water during the sedimentation
process.
Filtration
Once the flocs have settled, they will drop to the bottom of the
ocean. To remove any remaining particulates from the water,
the clean water on top is filtered through filters with various
pore sizes and construction materials. a variety of substances
(including charcoal, gravel, and sand). These filters remove
dust-borne diseases and dispersed particles. Pathogens include
substances, parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Additionally,
activated carbon filters remove odors.
Filtration
Disinfection
After the water has been filtered, water treatment facilities
may add one or more chemical disinfectants (like chlorine).
Use chloramine or chlorine dioxide to get rid of any parasites,
bacteria, or viruses that may still be present. to help maintain
water safety as it travels. Water treatment facilities will make
sure the water has a very low concentration of the chemical
disinfectant when it is distributed to homes and businesses
because this residual disinfectant kills bacteria in the pipelines
between the treatment facility and the homes and businesses.
Disinfection

Depending on the quality of the source water that enters the
treatment facility, water may be treated differently in
different communities. Most frequently, either surface water
or ground water is the water that enters the treatment facility.
Because lakes, rivers, and streams contain more sediment
(sand, clay, silt, and other soil particles), bacteria, pollutants,
and toxins than ground water does, surface water often needs
more treatment and filtration than ground water.
Fun Fact
Fun Fact
After disinfection, water treatment facilities frequently add
fluoride and modify the pH of the water. By adjusting the pH,
you can enhance flavor, lessen pipe corrosion (or breakdown),
and ensure that chemical disinfectants continue to kill germs
as the water passes through the pipes. The appropriate
quantity of fluoride in water helps prevent cavities and keeps
teeth strong.
Summary
Summary
The main goal of sewage treatment is typically to enable the
disposal of human pollutants without endangering human
health or causing unacceptable environmental harm.
According to a study, most of the developing nations
experience a high rate of mortality from diseases that are
transmitted through the water. To ensure a healthy lifestyle, it
is crucial to get the water properly treated.
