Purification of Soft Colored Waters
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 85, Issue 1
Abstract
Engineers engaged in water supply work are in substantial agreement that a drinking water, to satisfy critical modern consumers, should have an average color of not more than 10 parts per million on the platinum scale, and its maximum color should not exceed 15 parts. Supplies from ground sources and from many lakes and ponds conform to this standard, but most of the clearer surface waters possess a brownish coloration, well above the limit of 15 demanded by the modern consumer.
