Udział prac badawczych w rozwiązaniu problemu zaopatrzenia w wodę na przykładzie Obornik Wielkopolskich

The paper presents a technological concept for the Water Treatment Plant of Oborniki Wielkopolskie and emphasizes the role of scientific investigations (model-scale, pilot-plant and full-scale) in solving the water supply problem - from the exploration of water sources to the monitoring of the water treatment process which parallelled the start-up of the treatment plant. The water treatment plant designed and constructed on the basis of the investigations mentioned not only provides the municipality with water of the quality desired, but also serves (in terms of both quantity and quality) local industrial users calling for high-quality water (e.g. food producers).
