reportDrinking Water Treatment
6.4.1 Definition
This subchapter describes methods to purify drinking water. Drinking water denotes water used for drinking by humans independent of its source. The sources for drinking water are very different depending on the geographic region. In industrial countries it is mainly groundwater (see also chapter on groundwater). In developing countries many people depend on surface water such as lakes and rivers and sometimes rain as sources for drinking water.
