Introduction to Water Treatment

Surface waters could have a fresh taste or odour due to tannins or lignans in the water. Water treatment makes our water more acceptable for end uses – drinking, cooking, bathing, industrial processes, etc.

CWQA & the Environment

Drinking water treatment systems are becoming more water efficient, use less regenerating chemicals and are becoming easier and more efficient (and cost effective) to recycle at end of life.
