  2. Water softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

    Water softening is the removal of calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in hard water. The resulting soft water requires less soap for the same cleaning effort, as soap is not wasted bonding with calcium ions. Soft water also extends the lifetime of plumbing by reducing or eliminating scale build-up in pipes and fittings.

  3. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    Reverse osmosis ( RO) is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water molecules from other substances. RO applies pressure to overcome osmotic pressure that favors even distributions. RO can remove dissolved or suspended chemical species as well as biological substances (principally bacteria ), and is used ...

  4. Soft water path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_water_path

    The soft path integrates both supply and demand concepts but in a broader context by recognizing that water is a means to satisfy demands for goods and services and asking how much water, of what qualities, is actually required to satisfy those demands efficiently and sustainably. [4] Soft path water planning also requires broader institutional ...

  5. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

    A later form of marine evaporator is the flash distiller. [31] Heated seawater is pumped into a vacuum chamber, where it 'flashes' into pure water vapour. This is then condensed for further use. As the use of vacuum reduces the vapour pressure, the seawater need only be raised to a temperature of 77 °C (171 °F).

  6. Solar water disinfection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection

    Solar water disinfection, in short SODIS, is a type of portable water purification that uses solar energy to make biologically-contaminated (e.g. bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms) water safe to drink. Water contaminated with non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals require additional steps to make the water safe to drink.

  7. Public water system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_water_system

    The term "public" in "public water system" refers to the people drinking the water, not to the ownership of the system. Some US states (e.g. New York) have varying definitions. Over 286 million Americans get their tap water from a community water system. Eight percent of the community water systems—large municipal water systems—provide ...
