    Waterborne diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms transmitted through contaminated fresh water via activities like bathing, washing, or drinking. They are spread when people come into contact with contaminated water that contains disease-causing pathogens. Methods to treat water include chloramination, which uses compounds of chlorine and ammonia to disinfect water and provide long-lasting protection within water distribution systems in a cost-effective way.

    BUT

    WHY ???
    Process of disinfecting water using
    chloramines , compounds of chlorine
    and ammonia.
    Ofers an aggressive disinfectant
    residual that reacts more slowly and
    remains longer in the distribution
    system.
    FEWER TASTE AND ODOUR
    CHEAP COST
    Chlorine effectively eliminate all
    microorganisms.
