IMPROVEMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND RATIONALIZATION OF WATER CONSUMPTION AS PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPING OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS FOR RURAL SETTLEMENS
Technology for biocide treatment of drinking water for rural settlements foreseeing the replacement of conventional oxidant-disinfectant chlorine by ecologically less harmful disinfectants: ultraviolet, ions of copper and hydrogen peroxide is developed. Combination of proposed oxidants-disinfectants of physical and chemical nature makes it possible to achieve staffified depth of disinfection under less environmental side effects stipulated by decrease in doze and energy expenditures, as well as to provide long-term water preservation under relatively high temperatures.
