Description:

The purpose of this learning event is to provide California water system operators with a reconnaissance-level knowledge of the technologies employed to treat drinking water from groundwater supplies.

 

85% of California’s public water systems use only groundwater as their primary source of water.

 

A State Water Resources Control Board report found that: despite the fact that 98% of Californians who receive water from a public supplier are served safe drinking water, a “significant number” of California communities rely on contaminated groundwater sources for their public drinking water supply, requiring the source to undergo a “comprehensive treatment effort.”

 

Groundwater treatment is a complex topic. The range of contaminants of concern to safe drinking water is broad, covering essentially the entire chemical spectrum. Occurrence of groundwater contamination is similarly diverse encompassing both naturally occurring and man-made contaminants.

 

Operators of groundwater systems therefore need a comprehensive reconnaissance-level knowledge of groundwater treatment technologies and how these technologies are applied to removal/control of specific groundwater contaminants.

 

We will explore treatment for the seven most common groundwater contaminants: microbial contaminants (bacteria and virus), iron and manganese, arsenic, nitrate, uranium, organics, VOCs, SOCs, and hydrogen sulfide.

 

The recommended audience includes operators, managers & board members.
