1. The water treatment starts by removing bacteria and other stuff and to do this you need to use coagulants because coagulants are types of chemicals like aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride help particles in the water congealed together.

2.After the water goes into basins and the basins are called flocculation basins and what they do is that the solution of water and coagulants will slowly be mixed together to form floc particles.

3.Then after that the water is moved to sedimentation basins and what they do is that the water sit for the floc particles to begin settling out at a faster and faster rate.Then a large portion of the sediment will settle out and make a sludge.

4.So after this process then comes Dissolved air flotation and what this does is that air gets pumped into the bottom of the tanks creating a cascade of tiny bubbles and as these bubbles flout to the surface they take floc particles with them.

5.There are three main ways of disinfection which are chlorine,ozone, and finally ultra Violet radiation.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The first step in the process of water treatment is Coagulation and Flocculation. This process is where chemicals called coagulates are added to the water to help the particles in the water to combine and stick together.

2. In the sedimentation step, the floc formed from the particles from the coagulates and water sit at the bottom of a tank. Large portions of sediment called sludge will settle out to the bottom of the tanks and be taken out to landfills. Then, this leads us to having clean-ish water.

3. Then, the next step in water treatment processes is the process in which engineers are known for using dissolved air flotation tanks, where air is pumped into the bottom of these tanks forming cascades of bubbles.Then, when they flow to the surface, along with them, they catch flocs, which allows engineers with floc-free water where it then gets sent to facilities.

4. The next step in the water treatment process is Infiltration, and this is where the water may be clear, but still has bacteria and other solids. So, with the Infiltration process, it removes remainders of solids and bacteria. Engineers use sand filters where the water goes through the sand but the solids get stuck in the sand particles which leads to solid-free water.

5. Disinfection is the final step of the water treatment process. There are 3 ways of disinfection; chlorine treatment, ozone treatment, and the ultraviolet radiation treatment. These disinfection processes kill any contaminants that come after leaving the water treatment plant process, these also kill any bacteria left in water, and even improve the taste of water. After these disinfectant processes, the water is all filtered and ready to get pumped into our cities pipe networks, which then leads us to having access to clean and filtered water, for our everyday use.

2. water treatment follows a five step process which is as follows Coagulation,Flocculation,sedimentation,filtration,and disinfection

3. Coagulations is the process by which coagulates are added to water to make sediments stick together faster during the mixing process.Where as Flocculation is the process by which sediments and coagulates stick together during slow mixing to make what is called floc particles.

4. Filtration is the process by water is forced through sand or carbon filter of many varying sizes to clear them of small sediments and bacteria.

5. The last step Disinfection adds chemicals to the water or they may use UV light to kill off remaining bacteria or to make sure remaining bacteria is unable to reproduce.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Water treatment begins with coagulation which is where chemicals are mixed into water and cause solid particles to stick to each other to form clumps. This stage is followed by flocculation where the clumps sink to the bottom.

2. These particles are separated from the water through sedimentation where sediments sink while flowing water moves past them. This stage can be replaced with dissolved air flotation where air introduced into water and carries particles to the surface.

3. To make sure the water is clear, it must not have a significant amount of particles or a high turbidity.

4. Water treatment plants must disinfect the water so those who drink it do not become sick. Since filtration does not eliminate biohazards, they can add chlorine or expose the water to ultraviolet radiation.

5. Water treatment plants are important because they supply potable water which is made possible by their treatment methods.

Water treatment typically involves several stages, including coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. Each step targets different types of contaminants and impurities to ensure the water is safe for human consumption.

Coagulation and Flocculation: In this stage, chemicals (coagulants) are added to the water to bind small particles together into larger clumps (floc), which makes it easier for them to settle out of the water in the next steps.

Sedimentation: After coagulation, the floc settles at the bottom of the tank. This process removes the majority of suspended solids from the water.

Filtration: Water is passed through filters (often made of sand, gravel, or activated carbon) to remove smaller particles, bacteria, and other microorganisms that may not have settled during sedimentation.

Disinfection: In the final stage, disinfectants (such as chlorine or ultraviolet light) are used to kill remaining harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, ensuring that the water is safe for drinking before distribution to homes and businesses.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The first step involves screening large debris (like sticks, leaves, and garbage) from the water. Coagulation then helps clump smaller particles together by adding chemicals (coagulants) that cause particles to bind, forming larger particles called flocks

2. Sedimetation After coagulation, water moves to a sedimentation tank where the heavy flocs sink to the bottom, separating from the cleaner water. This process removes a large amount of suspended particles from the water.

3. Filtration The water then passes through layers of materials like sand, gravel, and charcoal, which trap remaining particles, bacteria, and other impurities. Filtration enhances water clarity and purity.

4. Disinfection To kill any remaining harmful microorganisms, disinfectants like chlorine or UV light are used. This step ensures the water is safe for consumption and prevents waterborne diseases.

5. Distribution After treatment, clean water is stored in tanks or reservoirs, then distributed through pipelines to homes, businesses, and other facilities. Monitoring continues to ensure the water quality remains safe.

1. Coagulation can take place when all of the things in water like sediment,wood,bacteria,etc gets removed by using a chemical called Coagulation and this chemical can grab the sediments and makes it stick together in the process of fast mixing.

2. Flocculation takes place when the solution of water and coagulate will slowly mix together in order to form something called a floc particles.

3. Sedimentation takes place when you add chemicals into the water in order to filter it out which can create something called sludge which is the waste inside the water and is usually thrown out to a land fill or a holding facility.

4. Dissolved air flotation can have an impact by making dissolved air float towards the surface grabbing floc particles on its way towards the surface.

There are 3 main ways of disinfection in water treatment processes, which can either be used individually or together. These ways are chlorine, ozone, and ultra-violet radiation treatment. Chlorine is mainly used in the U.S.

Although chlorine kills microorganisms, it can also be harmful if it reacts to other material in the water, resulting in disinfection byproducts, which is harmful to humans. This is why chlorine disinfection is used at the end of the process.

Activated carbon particles have tiny pores that help remove small sediments and bacteria, which can help improve taste and odor.

Filtration does not remove the microorganisms in water, however it does remove the solids that are suspended in the water. Sand filters are mainly used for this process due to the efficiency since water just has passed through the layers of sand.

If water drops to below the regular PSI (40 PSI), contaminants may have infiltrated, so a city may get a "boil water notice".
