Drinking waterWe call drinking water that we can drinkwithout any danger to our health.Drinking water should not contain substancesor organisms that can cause illness or harm

our health.Therefore, before the water reaches ourhomes, it must be treated in a watertreatment plant.In these places the water is cleaned and

treated until it is under conditions suitable forhuman consumption.

How much drinking water is onEarth?

It is estimated that in the Earth is about1,400 million km. meters of water.Only 3% of that water is drinking water.Of all fresh water, 80% are forming in the

poles and cold areas of the Earth, 19% isgroundwater and 0.7% are part of theatmosphere.Fresh water in rivers and lakes is 0.3% ofthe total. It is an insufficient amount for

all mankind, so it is necessary to preserveand avoid contamination, if we want lifeto continue on this wonderful planet.

How do we treat water in

treatment plantChlorination and flocculation.: After an initialscreening to remove large solid fragments,chlorine is added (to remove microorganisms fromwater) and other chemicals to enhance the solid

particles forming snowflakes precipitate .Decantation.: At this stage remove flocs andother particles in the water.Filtration. Water is passed through successivefilters to remove sand and other particles thatmight still remain, while eliminating the turbidity

of the water.Chlorination and netted. To eliminate the mostresistant microorganisms and disinfection ofpiping distribution network.
