It is important to build treatment barriers to be reliable in order to ensureconsistent quality of product because they represent the only barrier between thesource water and consumer. The growing concerns and increasing costsassociated with treatment serve to illustrate the technical and economicramifications of attempting to reverse the environmental impact of past practices.
