Introduction to Drinking Water Treatment

You drink water every day and use it for hygiene, gardening, cleaning, and other applications,

But how much do you know about tap water?

In this course, we will discuss drinking water treatment from many angles according to the following plan :

· First, we will address data about access to safe drinking water around the world,

· After that, we will talk about the importance of providing safe water to consumers and the risks of untreated water,

· Then, we will discuss water cycles in urban and natural areas,

· Next, we will explain how the process of water treatment works,

· And in the following chapter, we will address the challenges related to ensuring access to drinking water around the world,

· Finally, we will see how we can help save water in our homes and act responsibly.

- By the end of this course, you will have more knowledge about how raw water is treated and turned into safe drinking water. You will also learn why it is important to ensure safe water to avoid the dangerous consequences of unsafe water. You will also become more aware of the challenges that threaten safe water supply around the world and how you can help save water at your home and act responsibly.

- This course can also interest learners looking for knowledge on seawater and brackish desalination by reverse osmosis membrane technology, as classic pre-treatment can have many similarities with the drinking water treatment process.

- You can check our courses on Seawater Desalination and Wastewater Treatment as well!

Important Notice:

This course has been prepared with a specific audience in mind: learners looking for general knowledge about drinking water, importance of safe water and process of drinking water treatment … and does not delve into engineering design and calculations of water treatment.

That’s why:

- The course is suited for general public and provides high quality and concentrated knowledge about the importance of safe drinking water and how drinking water treatment works.

- The course is not suited for professionals, engineers and researchers looking for calculations and designs of drinking water treatment processes.

- (No artificial intelligence tools (chatgpt, generative ai, prompts ..) were used in the development of this course, I believe this is important for providing an original learning experience for students).
