The contaminants removed by treating the water are chemical pollutants like the fertilisers which are man made, minerals like iron, sulphur and manganese and other substances like the algae, bacteria, fungi, viruses among others. It is very important to take appropriate measures which can make the water available desirable for use by the consumer. Thus it is important to protect the water after it is treated and during its conveyance after that.
There are many processes for drinking water that is followed by the municipals for the water purification all around the world. These are:
To control any biological growth and algae the process of pre- chlorination is used
To remove the dissolved manganese and iron content in the water aeration is done apart from pre-chlorination
Coagulation is done for Flocculation
To separate the solids and remove them from the floc the process of sedimentation is performed
In case any floc still gets carried over then the process of filtration is performed
Finally to kill the bacteria the disinfectant is used
Many measures and precautions are being taken by the government and the local authorities to provide pure water to the people and that is not just for the drinking purpose but for all other use like irrigation etc. Incase you are not getting the best supply of water then the only option that you have is to set up your own water purification system.
