Abstract
In the last few decades the concern over drinking water quality is increasing enormously in the developing countries, and the main reason behind is 80% of illness caused due to poor quality of water.

To get rid of pollutants and pathogens, standard water treatment methods usually include a number of standard procedures, such as filtration, sedimentation, coagulation, and disinfection. However, the recent development in new & emerging water treatments have gained attention due to their substantial advantages and efficiency over the standard methods. This review paper aimed to address the comprehensively about drinking water resources available, causes of contamination water and methods of water treatment. The enhanced water treatment methods such as reverse osmosis, Nano filtration, Advanced Oxidation Process, Photocatalysis, Ultraviolet disinfection, Chlorine dioxide disinfection, Solar disinfection and Electro-coagulation, were discussed with their advantages and disadvantages.
