Water Intake: Obtaining Clean Water

Clean Water / Purification

Introducing the water purification process,
where the source water from the intake goes through various stages to gradually become clean water,
showcased through 3D graphic panels and AR videos.

1.Water Purification Process

- In order to meet the quality standards for tap water, the purification process combines coagulation, separation, and disinfection methods based on the quality of the source water.
- If the water quality after basic purification does not meet the required standards, advanced purification methods such as activated carbon treatment, ozonation, and biological treatment are used. These processes remove difficult-to-eliminate odor-causing substances, carcinogenic compounds (THMs), and other dissolved substances in the water.

Step-by-Step Water Purification Process

① Intake Facility : The place where source water, which will be used as tap water, is drawn and sent to the treatment plant.
② Sedimentation Basin : The area where trace harmful substances like 1,4-dioxane and algae are removed.
③ Flocculation Basin : The place where chemicals are added to the water to help it mix thoroughly.
④ Coagulation Basin : The area where coagulant chemicals and suspended particles are combined, forming larger, heavier clumps.
⑤ Sedimentation Basin : The place where the coagulated particles settle to the bottom.
⑥ Filtration Basin : The area where the water passes through layers of sand and gravel to be filtered and clarified.
⑦ Post-Ozone Contact Basin : The place where organic materials are broken down or oxidized.
⑧ Activated Carbon Adsorption Basin : The area where organic compounds are adsorbed and removed.
⑨ Clear Water Tank : The final storage area for the treated, clean water before distribution.

2.Water Purification Process AR Experience

- The AR video experience of the water purification process is available through 3D graphic panels and tablets.

Drinking Water / Tap Water

Explore the reasons why some people avoid drinking tap water,
learn how to safely drink tap water,
and discover the carbon reduction benefits of consuming tap water.

1.Domestic and International Tap Water Consumption Rates

- According to the Ministry of Environment's "2021 Survey on Tap Water Consumption," only 36% of people reported drinking tap water directly or after boiling it.
- In a public consulting analysis on the quality of drinking water published by ECORYS in 2015, more than half of the EU countries have a direct tap water consumption rate exceeding 50%, with several countries surpassing 70%.
- According to a 2013 survey on tap water satisfaction conducted by the Ministry of Environment, 30.2% of respondents said they don't drink tap water due to vague discomfort, 28.5% expressed doubts about the water quality, and 18.3% were concerned about the cleanliness of water tanks and pipes, indicating a low level of public trust in tap water.
- Korea's tap water purification system ranks 8th in the world out of 122 countries based on water quality indices.
- Tap water is considered tasty if it contains between 20 to 100 mg/L of minerals. For example, the minerals in Seoul's tap water, Arisu, were found to be 27.3 mg/L, while the mineral content in filtered water is only 1.18 mg/L.

2.How to Safely Drink Tap Water

- Let the tap water run for 2-3 minutes before drinking.
- Collect the water you intend to drink at least 3 hours in advance.
- Use cold water instead of warm water for drinking.
- Only collect the amount of water you will drink at once and boil it for 3-5 minutes.
- If using a filter, replace it every 2-3 months.

3.Carbon Emissions from Drinking Water

- Drinking tap water is one of the easiest and simplest ways to protect the environment.
- Based on the recommended daily water intake of 2 liters for adults, tap water produces 0.3g of carbon per ton, whereas bottled water generates 704 times more carbon, and water from a filtration system generates 1,428 times more carbon.
- The plastic components of bottled water and water filters are costly to recycle, and the energy used to produce bottled water and operate water filters, along with the associated carbon dioxide emissions, cannot be ignored.
