ABSTRACT

Water purification is a physic-chemical and biological process that consists of the removal of contaminants from raw water, through the use of different technologies (mechanical, physical, chemical, biological), to obtain water suitable for normal domestic consumption, for irrigation of fields or for industrial uses. The uses of water are the following: drinking, agricultural, for swimming pools, industrial processes (cooling, steam production and fire-fighting systems).
