ABSTRACT: In the drinking water treatment processes, the optimization of the
treatment is an issue of particular concern. In general, the process consists
of many units as settling, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration
and disinfection. The optimization of the process consists of some measures to
decrease the managing and monitoring expenses and improve the quality of the produced
water. The objective of this study is to provide water treatment operators with
methods and practices that enable to attain the most effective use of the
facility and in consequence optimize the cubic meter price of the treated
water. This paper proposes a review on optimization of drinking water treatment
process by analyzing all of the water treatment units and gives some solutions
in order to maximize the water treatment performances without compromising the
water quality standards. Some practical solutions and methods are performed in
the water treatment plant located in the middle of Morocco (Meknes).
