Particle and Turbidity Removal - 2 views

  •  
    Source water may contain turbidity (muddiness), particles, and organic material. Federal and state laws require all surface water systems and systems under the influence of surface water to filter their water. The primary water treatment technology uses filtration techniques. Filtration is the removal of particulates, and thus some contaminants, by water flowing through a porous medium.
