The article discusses the pros and cons of several alternative treatment methods, including conventional treatment, chemical disinfection, membrane filtration, ion exchange, ultraviolet light disinfection, ozonation, granular activated carbon, and centrally managed point‐of‐use and point‐of‐entry treatment.
