Urban and rural water supply and potable water treatment

Availability of drinking water and provision of sanitation facilities are basic minimum requirements for healthy living. Best practices for water supply projects include calculating yield and extraction rates, designing improvements with an appropriate scale and capacity, assessing water quality, conducting periodic testing, and minimizing downstream impacts. Potable water treatment involves using conventional and non-conventional processes and technologies to remove turbidity, chemical pollutants, and microorganisms from water, and to maintain and or improve the resulting quality of the water.
