Abstract—The concept of water security has become an
important social issue and the need to deploy emergency
management systems of water supply has increased. This study
observes the water sources available for emergency water
supply and the characteristics of the pollutant leakage into each
water source. The study also reviews suitable combinations of
treatment processes based on the observations and presents a
water treatment system for emergency water supply to manage
such situations quickly. The cassette-type water treatment
system developed in this study modularized the water treatment
equipment manufactured by various manufacturers for a
specific space so that the process could be structured selectively.
Each module was designed to treat the water independently,
and featured self-diagnosis, automatic operation, intelligent
process selection, and communication functions. Compared to
the existing emergency water supply systems, the presented
system could intelligently select an operational process
according to the raw water properties, and the power unit for
self-generation was designed in the form of a cassette, so that it
could operate for 2.0 h or longer, even under the condition of no
power supply. Therefore, it could be used in case of not only a
natural disaster but also an interruption of the water service.
