Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of the assessment of a community-scale drinking water treatment system by students from the University of _____ School of Engineering, working in collaboration with members of the organization Living Waters for the World. This system, installed worldwide in communities facing a severe lack of sustainable, clean drinking water, uses microfiltration and ozone to treat water. Evaluation of the system required analysis of several water quality parameters and the development of a chlorine disinfection table. It was determined that the ozone disinfection system effectively treats water, removing bacteria that indicate the presence of pathogens that could cause adverse health effects in humans.
