Potable Water Treatment
This unit reviews the demand for potable water and the nature and
characteristics of available water sources and drinking water
treatment technologies. The physical, chemical and biological

be applied to produce potable water from them, including screening,
clarification [coagulation/flocculation], sedimentation/floatation,

GAC/PAC and fluoridation. Water distribution and supply is reviewed
together with the safeguards that are taken to protect consumers,
with an emphasis on disinfection. The relevant drinking, bottled
and private water supply legislative and regulatory framework is
also covered within the unit.
