The upper surface of the zone of saturation, if not
confined by impermeable material, is called the... [ Ans: ]
Water Table
physical characteristics relate to the sseensory qualities of
water for domestic use such as the water's [ Ans: ]
observed coor, turbiditu, temperature, taste, and odor.
Chemical differences between waters include [ Ans: ]
mineral content and the presence or absence f
constituents such as fluoride, sulfide, and aacids.
Biological character of water refers to the [ Ans: ] presence
of organisms, alive or dead, and their metabolic products
In the operation of water treatment plants, three basic
objectives are controlling... [ Ans: ] 1) production of a safe
drinking water, 2) Production of an aesthetically pleasing
