Blending is the mixing of two or more source waters - including type (ground and surface) and/or origin. Blending can include a raw source water or treated water and is a strategy chosen due to water availability or to achieve certain water quality objectives. This section focuses on parameters needed when treated waters are used in blending and only parameters that affect the disinfection process.
Why test when blending source waters?
With analytical testing, you can:
- Prevent unexpected water quality issues
- Meet water quality objectives of blending
- Keep DBPs in check
- Optimize your coagulation/flocculation process
