Summary Introduction
Water purification is involves the removal of biological contaminants, undesirable chemicals, and gases from water. The methods used in purification of water depends on the source, volume and initial quality of the water. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoans like Cryptosporidium and Giardia are the main types of micro-organisms that commonly affect the drinking water and causes disease in humans.
