Water Treatment: Processes and Technologies
Water treatment transforms raw surface and groundwater into safe drinking water. Water treatment involves two types of processes: physical removal of solids (mainly mineral and organic particulate matter) and chemical disinfection (killing/inactivating microorganisms). Treatment practices vary from system to system, but there are four generally accepted basic techniques:
- Coagulation and Flocculation
- Sedimentation
- Filtration
- Disinfection
Groundwater requires less treatment than surface water.

RNA Transcription: Process and Stages
RNA Transcription: A Detailed Look
