Based on this website, there are 3 types of treatment that water undergo in order to purify itself. Firstly, is chlorination, chlorination and fluoridation and final distribution. This shows efficiently how water is treated in peel region. This is much important Wa
1. Chlorination involves the conventional method which involves four procedures, firstly, coagulation, flocculation, Sedimentation, dual media filtration.
Coagulation involves the addition of a chemical which is either aluminum or salt to dissolve into the raw. This then helps the solids and organics mix in the raw water effectively.
Flocculation – Since particles have a neutral charge and stick …show more content…
Distribution – The final process of this step is to distribute the water to homes and offices through the medium of pipes, reservoirs, and pumping stations. In peel region, there is 4400 kilometers of underground pipe. Diameters of pipes can reach up till 8 feet. http://www.rd.com/health/wellness/rethink-what-you-drink/3/ Summary:

• Bottled water packaging contains many dangers with associated to the leached chemicals present in the plastic of bottle. Toxic materials have many extend on the human health, from dizziness to nausea to potentially death. Other chemicals found in the plastic is bisphenol, a chemical used in the making of toys and food supplies/containers. These chemicals cause negative impacts toward one’s health with the potential of affecting the brain, female reproductive system and even their immune system.
