Water treatment – NRW Management

The use of small-scale equipment for evaluating water treatment plants

Water treatment involves the complex interaction of processes such as mixing, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, clarification and disinfection. Tools have been developed to simulate the full-scale water treatment plants in order to optimise and monitor the processes in terms of the chemical dosages and physical parameters.

Guidelines for Water Balance

The IWA developed the standard water balance to benchmark and evaluate the performance of water distribution systems and is being promoted across the world as best practice.
