    This document provides recommended water treatment processes based on test results of water quality characteristics. It shows that floating debris, algae, and turbidity above 30 NTU should be treated with screens and sedimentation. Turbidity between 5-30 NTU and color above 30 Pt-Co can be treated with coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. Iron, manganese, and chlorides above limits require aeration, while coliform bacteria above 100 MPN/100mL need chlorination and dechlorination. Toxic chemicals require additional treatment processes.
