Water Purification Technologies

Water purification technologies are methods used to remove impurities and contaminants from water, making it safe for drinking and other uses. Common techniques include filtration, which physically removes particles; reverse osmosis, which uses pressure to push water through a membrane that filters out contaminants; and disinfection processes like chlorination or UV treatment, which kill harmful bacteria and viruses. Each method addresses different types of impurities, ensuring that the water meets safety standards for consumption. These technologies are vital for public health, especially in areas where clean water is scarce.
