Water Disinfection

Water disinfection is the process of eliminating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, from water to make it safe for drinking and other uses. Common methods include chlorination, where chlorine chemicals are added to kill pathogens, and UV irradiation, which uses ultraviolet light to destroy germs. Filtration can also remove some microorganisms. Disinfection ensures water is safe by preventing waterborne diseases, protecting public health, and maintaining water quality standards. Each method is chosen based on water source, quality, and treatment requirements to achieve effective and consistent safety.
