 DRINKING WATER FACTS
 Our society uses almost an
average of 100 gallons of
drinking water per person per
day.
 Of the drinking water
supplied by public water
systems, only a small portion
is actually used for drinking.

EPA Drinking Water Academy

 SETTING PRIMARY
DRINKING WATER
 Identify drinking
water contaminants STANDARDS
that may adversely
affect public health.
 Determine a
maximum
contaminant level
(MCL) goal for
regulated
contaminants.
 Specify an
enforceable MCL.

Example of MCLs – does not include all

 BOTTLED WATER—THE GOOD
 It is convenient and portable
 It is a good diet drink
 Healthier than many drinks
containing sugar, caffeine and
other additives
 Fits special niches (some are
scams)
 BOTTLED WATER—THE BAD
 It is very expensive in comparison to
tap water
 It is not necessarily better than most
tap water
 It is not necessarily safer than most tap
water
 Some niche uses are scams
 It is associated with many health
quackery scams
 It is associated with push for global
privatization
 WATER TREATMENT

disinfection anion exchange

oxidation
pH adjustment
cation exchange
filtration

adsorption
demineralization

Match the pollutant with the correct process!
