Abstract
The concept of water security has become animportant social issue and the need to deploy emergencymanagement systems of water supply has increased. This studyobserves the water sources available for emergency watersupply and the characteristics of the pollutant leakage into eachwater source. The study also reviews suitable combinations oftreatment processes based on the observations and presents awater treatment system for emergency water supply to managesuch situations quickly. The cassette-type water treatmentsystem developed in this study modularized the water treatmentequipment manufactured by various manufacturers for aspecific space so that the process could be structured selectively.Each module was designed to treat the water independently,and featured self-diagnosis, automatic operation, intelligentprocess selection, and communication functions. Compared tothe existing emergency water supply systems, the presentedsystem could intelligently select an operational processaccording to the raw water properties, and the power unit forself-generation was designed in the form of a cassette, so that itcould operate for 2.0 h or longer, even under the condition of nopower supply. Therefore, it could be used in case of not only anatural disaster but also an interruption of the water service.
