2. Water treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment

   Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment. Water treatment removes contaminants and undesirable ...

3. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   Water purification. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids, and gases from water. The goal is to produce water that is fit for specific purposes. Most water is purified and disinfected for human consumption ( drinking water ), but water purification may also be carried out ...

4. Wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment

   Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater. It thus converts it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once back in the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment. It is also possible to reuse it.

5. Flocculation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocculation

   Flocculation (except in polymer science) Process of contact and adhesion whereby dispersed molecules or particles are held together by weak physical interactions ultimately leading to phase separation by the formation of precipitates of larger than colloidal size. In contrast to aggregation, agglomeration is a reversible process.

6. Sewage treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment

   Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges.

7. Zero liquid discharge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Liquid_Discharge

   Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is a classification of water treatment processes intended to reduce wastewater efficiently and produce clean water that is suitable for reuse (e.g., irrigation ). ZLD systems employ wastewater treatment technologies and desalination to purify and recycle virtually all wastewater received. [1] [2]
