Life is evolved in water. Therefore, water is essential not only for human beings but for all forms of life. Though fossil fuels are considered important for economic growth, water is the real fuel which brings prosperity to a country or community.This is more pertinent to our country as well as other countries where economy largely hinges on agriculture. Most of the industrial activities also need water extensively. As the civilization of society progresses, the domestic water consumption also increases. That is why per capita water consumption is considered as one of the indices of development. Quality of water and quantity of available water are two important factors for water supply. Besides the primary uses such as drinking, cooking and washing, it is needed for most of industrial activities as well. In a dairy plant, water is used as feed for boiler to produce steam, for cooling and heating in heat exchangers and for cleaning and washing. Proper planning, designing, construction, maintenance and operation of water works is needed for reliable supply of water. First thing in any scheme of water supply is the source of water.Identification and development of a permanent source of water supply is prerequisite for reliable water supply. We will discuss the aspects related to water quality and water treatment technologies.
