This article discusses the challenges of producing quality water, which are actually a succession of challenges, each of which must be met and solved. The article discusses coagulation as the most effective method of water treatment, in terms of volume of water treated and of chemicals used. The development of polymers is discussed as a real breakthrough in coagulation practice. The drawbacks of chlorine as a disinfectant are discussed, along with the potential of using iodine as a water disinfectant. The use of activated carbon to treat for inorganic and organic pollutants is presented as the most effective agent to meet these challenges, and the article provides discussions of outmoded processes still in use, and the industry challenge of reusing its water.
