Abstract :
The purification of water for domestic consumption involves several stages of treatment of the raw water to remove suspended solids, colour and bacteria before entering the distribution network. The individual treatment processes include clarification, disinfection, pH adjustment, filtration and taste and odour removal. The paper outlines the gradual introduction of automation strategies including neural net based colour prediction
