The document discusses the history and benefits of water treatment plants. It explains that water treatment was first invented by ancient Greek and Sanskrit writings in 2000 BC where people would boil or filter water, though microorganisms and chemicals were still unknown. The first cloth bag filter was invented by Greek scientist Hippocrates in 500 BC. Later, Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovered microorganisms in water using microscopes. Today, water treatment plants purify water naturally without pollution while providing clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing at schools like ATID without needing to purchase bottled water.
