Water Pollution Control Technologies

Water pollution control technologies are methods used to remove harmful contaminants from water, ensuring it is safe for drinking, recreation, and ecosystems. Common techniques include physical methods like filtration and sedimentation to remove solids, chemical treatments such as adding disinfectants or neutralizers to remove pollutants, and biological processes that use microorganisms to break down organic waste. Advanced approaches also include membrane technologies like reverse osmosis, which filter out tiny particles, and constructed wetlands that naturally treat wastewater. These technologies work together to reduce pollution levels, protect water quality, and maintain ecological health.
