Compromised Water Quality — Challenges and Solutions

Presented on Tuesday, December 15, 2015

All water supplies, regardless of the source, contain contaminants. The kinds, concentrations, and intended use dictate the required treatment technologies. This presentation will introduce the classes of waterborne contaminants, provide specific examples, and identify possible sources. It will diferentiate between aesthetic and health-related contaminants and the impact of the changing regulatory environment. It will also describe the plethora of contaminant removal technologies available and discuss the effectiveness of the major choices and the challenges of designing a complete treatment system.
