Contaminants
_________– inert suspended particles (e.g. silt)
_________– viruses, bacteria, algae
_________– any dissolved substance (metals,
minerals, and other chemicals)
Source of Contamination
Untreated _____water (e.g. Ottawa River)
_________/agricultural waste (e.g. Walkerton)
Landfill _________ (e.g Chelsea landfill)
_____fire emissions
Impact

Drinking Water Treatment
Municipal Water Treatment Process
1. _________– screens filter out large debris.
2. _________, _________, sedimentation – particles settle out
of solution.
Al2(SO4)3 can be used as a coagulant [along with Ca(HCO3)2]
2Al3+(aq) + 3SO42-(aq) + 3Ca2+(aq) + 6HCO3-(aq)
2Al(OH)3(s) + 3Ca(SO4)(s) + 6CO2(g)
Drinking Water Treatment
_________– water flows through layers of sand and
active carbon. This removes _________, _________,
and _________impurities
4. _________– Chlorine or other reagent is added to the
kill any microorganisms and react organic solvents.
5. _________– Air, O2 or O3 added to reduce unwanted
taste/colour.
3.
Drinking Water Treatment
6. _________– addition of sodium carbonate and calcium
hydroxide precipitates Ca2+ and Mg2+ out of water.
Ca2+(aq) + 2CO3-(aq)
Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
CaCO3(s)
Mg(OH)2(s)
_________– small amounts of _______is added to help
prevent tooth decay.
8. ______-_________ – another treatment of chlorine to
remove any microorganisms. _________is added to
stabilize the _________so that it remains in solution
during transportation to your tap.

Drinking Water Treatment
Point of Use Water Treatment
Less than ____ of municipally treated water is used for
drinking.
Other treatment methods could include one or more of:
Boiling
_________
Chlorination
Reverse Osmosis
_______________
Waste Water Treatment
"Every time you drink a glass of water,
the odds are good that you imbibe at
least one molecule that passed through
the bladder of Oliver Cromwell. It's just
elementary probability theory?"
Richard Dawkins
Waste Water Treatment
_________waste
Disease _________– e.g. Cholera
Chemical release – e.g. nitrates, phosphates
contraceptives
Oxygen depletion – ____________of waste by bacteria
has high BOD (biological oxygen demand). This can
_______the relatively little O2 that is dissolved in water
