water treatment

Water treatment is the process of making water safe for drinking and other uses. It involves several steps: screening removes large debris, coagulation adds chemicals to clump tiny particles together, sedimentation allows these clumps to settle, and filtration removes smaller impurities. Finally, disinfection, often via chlorine or ultraviolet light, kills harmful bacteria and viruses. The treated water is then tested to ensure it meets safety standards before being distributed for public use. This process helps protect public health and ensures a reliable supply of clean water.
