| Abstract | Review of the historical development of surface water treatment, including recent innovations, with an outlook to future trends. The convential coagulation-chlorination process is no longer acceptable due to water quality problems associated with chlorination by-products and pesticides. Water quality and environmental criteria will tighten, requiring the development of a process scheme that can deal with the complex mixture of pollutants found in surface waters. A chemical process based on the application of advanced oxidation processes and chemical softening and a physical process based on application of nanofiltration are presented and evaluated as alternatives. |
