Appraisal of Some Existing Technology on Water Quality: Appraisal and Design

Abstract

Sunday Emmanson Udoh and Ubong Isaac Nelson

Water is essential for the maintenance of life, domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes. However, the current global challenge is to find solutions to problems arising from the employment of contaminated water for the listed purposes. It is known that there is more contaminated or polluted water than potable water. Therefore, since the water resources is fixed by nature, efforts towards the provision of potable water must significantly be directed towards water treatment protocols. This review identified various water treatment methods, their comparative advantages as well as disadvantages. The comparison reveals that there is no specific method that can give 100% purity of water. Hence for best results, we recommended the engineering approach for the provision of a purification bed as the best option.
