Introduction
 Water treatment is a process of making water
suitable for its application or returning its
natural state.
 Industrial-scale processes that make water more
acceptable for an end-use, which may be
drinking, industry, or medicine.
 The treatment may include mechanical,
physical, biological, and chemical methods.
 Water treatment is an important industry
requirement and comes under 4 main branches
which include boiler water treatment, cooling
water treatment, water purification and the

Conclusion
Not treating wastewater before discharging it into waterways pollutes the
source, the water intended for drinking is withdrawn from this same source
and again not adequately treated, creating significant public health problems
According to India's Central Pollution Control Board, the country has an
installed capacity to treat only about 30% of the household waste it
generates – the rest is released into open drains or straight into the ground
If India can deploy adequate technology to treat water, it could significantly
expand its water supply and better water means better public health and
economic development
The world is not running out of water. The real challenge is to provide
enough clean water to a rapidly growing global population.
