Drinking Water Treatment

Drinking water treatment is the process of making water safe for human consumption by removing impurities and contaminants. It typically involves several key steps: 1. **Screening** removes large debris. 2. **Coagulation and Flocculation** add chemicals to help small particles clump together. 3. **Sedimentation** allows these clumps to settle at the bottom. 4. **Filtration** passes water through layers of materials to trap smaller particles. 5. **Disinfection** uses chemicals or UV light to kill harmful microorganisms. These steps ensure the water is clean, safe, and meets health regulations before it reaches households.
