Providing the population with safe drinking water is one of the most difficult problem of water supply management, since the quality of water is significantly determined not only by the cleaning works carried out at the treatment stations, but also by the ecological condition of the water that enters these stations. Today, as a whole, the problem has long gone beyond the private interests of any single agency of the country, as it significantly includes both meeting the daily needs of the population and protecting its health, as well as the country's security and its sustainable economic development. The project envisages focusing the attention of a wide range of society representatives and scientists on the problem of vital importance for the country's security and its population, providing people with the necessary amount of safe, quality drinking water that meets the requirements of the World Health Organization. In the presented article, one of the raw water treatment methods is discussed, which will allow us to maintain the organoleptic characteristics of drinking water through the arrangement of a pneumatic curtain at the head of the water intake system.
