Abstract
This article provides a historical overview of the role of chemical engineers in ensuring clean drinking water. It highlights the use of various materials and chemical processes in water supply systems, such as settling, filtration, and coagulation. The article also discusses the importance of chemical treatment in water disinfection, including the use of chlorine, ozone, and UV treatment. It mentions the Camelford pollution incident and the Flint water crisis as examples of the consequences of inadequate chemical treatment. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for responsible water treatment and the application of chemical engineering principles to address global water supply issues.
