Talk:Water purification
From Academic Kids
This should follow the same format as sewage treatment: primary, secondary, tertiary. The same technology is used for both.
Thanks, that's a good point. But there isn't reliance on biological activity in the secondary stage, and the tertiary stage is mandatory for drinking water and in the case of a groundwater source, can be the only treatment it gets.
I have re-formatted to try and bring this more in line with waste water treatment although there are maor differences. My intention is to make this more logical. Velela 11:45, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Field purification?
I've heard of field purification of water with iodine tablets / other additives to the water... should there be an addition regarding that type of water purification? Seems to fit this category.

- Sounds like a good idea. All I know about them is the memories of halizone tablets we used in 'Nam back in the '60s. Tasted pretty bad, but considering the alternative... -Vsmith 00:09, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Chlorination Page
There is another page called chlorination which is not very NPOV, and is a stub. It isn't even linked from this page. What should be done? Oasisbob 20:17, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Chlrorination is a more general topic that spans, water treatment, swimming pool water treatment, air conditionuing maintenance etc. and is probably worth retaining as a seperate article, but it could do with some improvement !
