Water Treatment
OBJECTIVES OF WATER TREATMENT
“To remove harmful microorganisms or chemicals,
thereby preventing the spread of disease in order to
supply clean and safe water for public demand”
’ŸATEE iÑOURCE
Water source could be
River
Lakes
Groundwater; most likely better quality than surface
water
Rainwater ++/ Dam
Raw water quality varies with the source, and if
the source is surface water, the quality vary
seasonally, particularly with flooding, upland and
lowland, etc

Selection of the set of Treatment Processes will be based on :
Sources of water intake
Characteristic of water
Detailed raw water quality analysis for a minimum of one
year, or longer, at periods of high, low and medium
flows. The parameters to be looked at all those listed in
the legislative standards
Cost
Suitability of the processes for removing particulate
impurities. Example:
Turbidity; suitable process might be coagulation ,
sedimentation or filtration
For pathogen, pre or post chlorination, UV, ozone, or
chloramines
