  • Abstract
    Throughout history, water purification has been an important part of preserving mankind´s existence, due to the fact that the human population cannot survive without water. It is evident that centuries ago water was being purified and is still being researched and refined today. Water is essential for life, but can quickly become harmful if not managed correctly. Today, there are a plethora of techniques ranging from simple to complex for water purification. This paper aims to educate the importance of water purification and spread awareness of waterborne disease and techniques.
