Drinking Water Industry Solutions Brochure

Water is the most crucial element needed for human activity on the planet, including agricultural, industrial and domestic use. Unfortunately, water quality around the world is poor and getting worse. While over 70% of the Earth is covered in water, only about 0.01% is usable fresh water. And since water demand increases with population, the re-use of water and proper treatment methods have become a critical necessity.

Water treatment plants come in a wide variety of sizes, with no two plants exactly alike. But whether publicly owned or privately held, they all share the same goal — to provide a source of safe and reliable drinking water to their communities.

Water treatment varies based on the quality of the water source, size of the plant, and if ground water or surface water is used. Smaller systems are likely to use ground water, while larger systems rely on surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
