Water Treatment
Stage and Primary action.

Primary (mechanical process) – filters out debris
through screens and by allowing it to settle out in a settling tank
Secondary (biological process) – uses aerobic and
anaerobic bacteria to remove organic wastes, includes: trickling filters,
activated sludge process (where bacteria degrades wastes) Combined
w/primary, get out: most suspended particles, oxygen demanding
wastes, toxic metal compounds, and SOME phosphates and nitrates…
Tertiary (chemical process) – very costly, uses
membranes for: reverse osmosis, microfiltration, ultrafiltration
After the last process, water is bleached w/chlorine to disinfect and
then released…

Mitigation – (not always successful – but better than
nothing)
Restoration – trying to restore a degraded habitat or
ecosystem to a condition as close as possible to the predegraded state.
