Abstract
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face increasing challenges in providing safe drinking water due to increasing demand, limited access to freshwater, and vulnerability to pollution. This paper presents the design and analysis of a conventional water treatment plant (WTP) designed for the Caribbean region with a capacity to treat and distribute 140,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day. The study describes a systematic approach to water treatment, including screening, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, flash filtration, and tertiary disinfection. The performance results show significant reductions in key contaminants such as coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD), bringing water quality within internationally accepted standards set by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The WTP proposal highlights practical engineering solutions to improve water securi- ty, protect public health, and ensure environmental sustainability in the Caribbean region.
