Joogiveepuhastusjaamad are facilities responsible for treating raw water from various sources to make it safe for human consumption. The process typically involves several stages designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and pathogens. Initially, raw water undergoes screening to remove large debris such as leaves and branches. Following this, sedimentation processes allow suspended solids to settle out of the water. Coagulation and flocculation are often employed, where chemicals are added to bind smaller particles together, forming larger flocs that can be more easily removed. Filtration is a crucial step, using layers of sand, gravel, and sometimes charcoal to remove remaining suspended matter and microorganisms. Disinfection is the final barrier against harmful bacteria and viruses, commonly achieved through chlorination, ozonation, or UV irradiation. The treated water is then tested to ensure it meets stringent quality standards before being distributed to the public. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure the continuous operation and effectiveness of these vital infrastructure systems.
