1. Introduction
Water has always been of great importance in human development. Actually, human can not live without water within a certain time. Water quality management has been conducted since numeral disasters was caused by the water pollution hundreds years ago. Due to the physical, chemical and biological adverse impacts posed by urbanization and industrialization, the quality of the water resources become a global issue. One of the most important factors is the boom of global population that would cause serious scarcity of water.
Especially in the developing country, the growth rate of population is much faster than in developed country. The high growth rate of population in the city without a proper management and infrastructure of the water results in the low quality and pollution of water. In 1992, according to the prediction of United Nations Population Bureau, the global population will be more than 10 billion by the 2050 and reach 8.9 billion by 2030. For instance, in London and Newyork, population was growing gradually in the past decades and the water management system can be established progressively so that they are able to manage water supply and sewerage properly. While in the developing country, especially in China and India with the most rapidly increase of population in the recent century, the water quality seems to be serious issues due to the limit capacity of the water management.
All over the world, the main source of drinking water come from rivers, estuaries nearby or ground water. Water is collected and purified with numeral process that removes pathogen,chemical and toxic element in the water, then it is transported to customers for domestic,industrial and irrigational use. Therefore,
