Water treatment is the process of making water safe for drinking and other uses. It involves removing harmful substances, bacteria, and impurities from water sources like rivers, lakes, and underground wells. This ensures that the water is clean and safe for people and the environment.
The treatment process typically includes several steps, such as filtration, coagulation, and disinfection. During filtration, large particles are removed, while coagulation helps smaller particles clump together for easier removal. Finally, disinfection uses chemicals or UV light to kill any remaining germs, ensuring the water is safe for consumption.
