Key terms
- potable water: In Potable water, potable water means water that is safe to drink and has low levels of dissolved salts and microbes. This matters in Using the Earth's resources and obtaining potable water because it supports the learning objective to give reasons for the steps used to produce potable water. Use potable water only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, curriculum-specific, and useful for AQA GCSE Biology revision. Students should use this term accurately when they explain the biology, identify symptoms, or justify an answer in GCSE Biology questions.
- water treatment: Processes used to make water safe for drinking, including filtration and sterilisation.
Common trap
Common Mistake in Potable Water Production: Do not treat this as a general statement about potable water. Instead, answer by clearly linking the correction to give reasons for the steps used to produce potable water in Potable water.
