Water treatment is a process that makes water suitable for its intended use or returns it to its natural state. The required treatment depends on the application. 

Water treatment methods include:
Physical processes: Filtration, sedimentation, and distillation
Biological processes: Slow sand filters or biologically active carbon
Chemical processes: Flocculation and chlorination
Electromagnetic radiation: Ultraviolet light 

Public drinking water systems often use a series of water treatment steps that include: Coagulation, Flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration, Disinfection. 

Water treatment can also involve the use of chemicals such as:
Oxygen scavengers: Protect the boiler from destructive chemical reactions and reduce corrosion
Alkalinity builders
Anti-scaling agents 

Some methods of water purification include: Boiling, Filtration, Distillation, Chlorinatio
