Abstract:

Due to high population growth and rapidly declining groundwater levels, the Brazos River Authority of Texas initiated a regional study to evaluate existing and potential surface water supply sources capable of meeting the needs of Johnson County, Texas. The study found that advanced treatment of abundant, but saline (brackish) water supplies stored in existing reservoirs was more economical than the development of new, higher quality, surface water sources. This paper summarizes the planning, design, and proposed operation of the Lake Granbury Surface Water and Treatment System (SWATS) electrodialysis reversal (EDR) plant, which is presently the largest inland municipal demineralizer water treatment plant in Texas.
