Water Systems - Inquiry Mind Map

Water treatment is a multi-step process designed to ensure that water is safe for consumption. Initially, chemicals are added to the water to neutralize the charges of dissolved particles, causing them to bind together and form larger particles called floc.

how do you treat water?

Filtration Once the floc has settled to the bottom of the water supply, the clear water on top will pass through filters of varying compositions (sand, gravel, and charcoal) and pore sizes, in order to remove dissolved particles, such as dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.
Disinfection After the water has been filtered, a disinfectant (for example, chlorine, chloramine) may be added in order to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, and viruses, and to protect the water from germs when it is piped to homes and businesses.
