| Sumario: | Many communities across the United States and elsewhere in the world withdraw water from surface water resources for treatment to provide potable water for customers. The character and quality of surface waters are impacted by natural features of the watershed and by human societal activities carried out within the watershed. Natural geologic and geochemical processes, releases of contaminants from cultivated or grazed lands, releases of contaminants from urban and transportation activities, and releases of contaminants from permitted wastewater discharge facilities all have the potential to impact the character and quality of water flowing in a surface water resource that is tapped as a raw water source for potable water production. Agricultural practices, location and character of urban areas and transportation corridors, and the number and character of permitted discharges within the watershed combine with meteorologic, hydrologic, and contaminant fate and transport processes to affect the presence and abundance of key contaminants in surface waters withdrawn for treatment. In planning the operations and processes to be used for treatment to render raw water into safe, palatable water for customers, engineers must carefully consider all constituents that could be in the raw water at any time water is withdrawn for treatment. |
