the action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling   show
🗑
process for disinfection water against bacteria and viruses using ozone   show
🗑
show heap leaching  
🗑
a rod shaped bacteria presence in water indicates fecal contamination   show
🗑
show artesian well  
🗑
show eutrophication  
🗑

🗑
show saltwater, glaciers and ice caps  
🗑
show There is available water - ground water  
🗑
show artesian well  
🗑
show natural spring water  
🗑

🗑
show too expensive and too much energy  
🗑
show they are chemicals used in electronics. Can cause cancer  
🗑
show decreases oxygen levels as temperatures increases
