Non- point sources are pollution of water that comes from many diffuses sources. There are two main types of non- point pollution: the first group is human made …show more content…
Coagulation and flocculation are usually first steps. In this process into water are added positively charged chemicals. This positive charged is connected with negatively charged in order to neutralize all dissolved particles and dirt. After this chemicals bind to particles and form larger particle, called floc. The next step in the process is sedimentation where the floc settles down to the bottom of the water. The third step is filtration which is one of the most important because dissolved particles such as various chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and dust are removed when the water passes through filters. In the last step, called disinfection, the scientists add a disinfectant. This substance can be chloramine or chlorine and its role is to kill all remaining viruses and …show more content…
“Drinking water is characterized as a system of water- dissolved organic or inorganic gasses and substances.” (Bratislavská vodárenská spoločnosť, 2013). What do exactly means selected indicators of drinking water? The hardness of water is the sum of calcium and magnesium. The scale is very wide and has six different levels: very soft, soft, moderately hard, quite hard, hard and very hard water. The next indicator is nitrates. They are involved in the cycle of the life in the nature- in the air, water, food, and soil. Another very important indicator is calcium which is necessary for regulation of fluid volume and neurotransmission. Weakly mineralized and hard water sustainable for drinking is found in our area. This means there is a good quality water in Trenčín area.
In conclusion, “the drinking water quality of public water supplies is assessed on the basis of inspections by waterworks operators from the sector of the Slovak Ministry of Soil Management” (Jozef, 2003). Although there are many resources of water not only in Slovakia but also in Trenčín area, we should more take care about it. We should think twice before we pollute the water because pollution has very bad impact on the environment and on
