Water is a necessity for humans and for life. The water we drink if we live in the high standards of America are very much clean when we get drinking. The first part of the water treatment is coagulation. Coagulation removes the dirt and other particles still contained in the water. Alum and other chemicals are added to water to form little sticky particles that attract the dirt particles. This step leads to the completion of the next stage, sedimentation. Sedimentation is when the heavy particles with the dirt and chemicals settle to the bottom and the clear moves on to filtration. Filtration is when the water will pass through filters. Some of the layers are made of sand, gravel, and even charcoal. They even remove smaller particles. This is can described as the man with the white glove act. Next comes disinfection, a small amount of chlorine is added and other disinfection methods to kill any bacteria that may be in the water. Storage is the final stage and it is when water is finally placed in a closed tank where water will begin to flow into our pipes which will lead to our usage.
Water is one of life's greatest creations. Without we would not exist, so its give water a big high five. Its great that we have this awesome filtration system to help us drink our necessary water without dirt or getting some disease. Thank you to the genius that help make this process.
