AWWA JAW6687

Organic chemical compounds have infiltrated many groundwater sources. Since thousands of small water systems rely on ground-water sources for potable water, a cost-effective means of controlling organic compounds or treating supplies is essential. Source control, treatment techniques, dilution, and development of new sources are discussed in view of relative costs. Organic chemical compounds discussed include trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1dichloroethane, dichloroethylene, methylene chloride, and vinyl chloride. Treatment techniques discussed involve management techniques, aeration techniques, adsorption techniques, including granular activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), and synthetic resins, and combined control strategies. Includes 15 references, tables, figures.
