  • How is water treated in a drinking water treatment plant?
  • Most water treated within drinking water treatment plants comes from surface supply sources. As snow melts and rainfall moves along the ground surface into rivers, streams, and lakes, particles are picked up along the way. Therefore, ALL surface water to be used for domestic drinking water purposes must be treated.
  • How do waste water treatment plants control eutrophication?
  • The use of waste water treatment plants to reduce P content in domestic sewage is also a source control method for the rapid recovery of urban lakes. Biological dephosphorization and denitrification are commonly used in waste water treatment plants to control eutrophication.
  • How does a water treatment plant work?
  • Once it dissolves and mixes in the water a treatment process is needed to remove it from the water. These treatment processes are more complex than the standard drinking water treatment plant. There are a variety of processes including things such as ion exchange, membrane filtration, chemical absorption, and others.
  • What is a reservoir in a water treatment plant?
  • These “reservoirs” (lakes) provide an area for large amounts of water to collect so the treatment plant has a constant source of supply. These reservoirs can also allow for some settling of solids and many double as a recreation space for fishing, boating, and water-skiing, etc.
