Abstract: | Water resource shortage and pollution has seriously threatened the survival and development of developing countries. Because
of China’s specific economical and social circumstances, complete adoption of developed countries’ experience is unrealistic.
At present, China needs to develop strategies and technologies in source water pollution control and municipal environmental
remediation that embrace the country’s specific need to battle the water resource problem. Among them, efficient source water
pretreatment is a critical step to ensure a safe municipal water supply. Unlike developed countries, it is not yet feasible
in China to treat water supplied to the household and have it meet the standard of direct drinking; therefore, it is more
appropriate to refer to it as service water. As a beneficial supplement, an additional community drinking water network and
household drinking water apparatus can be considered. |
