Water treatment specialists need more and more to understand how viruses behave in potable water pipes and wastewater setups. This work discusses the late advances in dealing with viruses present in water treatment processes. Activated carbon adsorption (ACA) remains one of the most efficient and credible physicochemical methods. Nanoparticles have been utilized to turn activated carbon into a more efficient sorbent. Membrane filtration could lead to total elimination of viruses and ensure the safety of drinking water plants. As a feasible utilization for disinfecting potable water, solar disinfection (SODIS) remains a green and cost-efficient technology with its optical and thermal pathways and deserves more interest in its large and industrial implementation. Identically, solar distillation remains a viable solution for disinfecting and treating water. The water treatment techniques that are currently utilized for surface water treatment are appropriate for eliminating viruses like influenza A viruses, as proved by the literature. More strict precautions have to be taken to secure viruses' total elimination from water and wastewater as for influenza A and H5N1 in terms of advanced oxidation processes, ACA, and membrane processes application. Before reaching surface water, pathogens have to be removed efficiently from hospital and municipal wastewaters.

水处理专家越来越需要了解病毒在饮用水管道和废水设施中的行为。这项工作讨论了处理水处理过程中存在的病毒的最新进展。活性炭吸附（ACA）仍然是最有效，最可靠的物理化学方法之一。已经利用纳米颗粒将活性炭转变成更有效的吸附剂。膜过滤可以完全消除病毒，并确保饮用水厂的安全。作为消毒饮用水的一种可行方法，太阳能消毒（SODIS）凭借其光和热途径仍然是一种绿色且具有成本效益的技术，值得在其大型工业应用中获得更多关注。完全一样 太阳蒸馏仍然是消毒和处理水的可行解决方案。如文献所证明的，目前用于地表水处理的水处理技术适合于消除诸如甲型流感病毒的病毒。就高级氧化工艺，ACA和膜工艺应用而言，就甲型流感和H5N1流感而言，必须采取更严格的预防措施以确保从水和废水中彻底清除病毒。在到达地表水之前，必须从医院和市政废水中有效去除病原体。就高级氧化工艺，ACA和膜工艺应用而言，完全消除了甲型和H5N1流感病毒所产生的水和废水。在到达地表水之前，必须从医院和市政废水中有效去除病原体。就高级氧化工艺，ACA和膜工艺应用而言，完全消除了甲型和H5N1流感病毒所产生的水和废水。在到达地表水之前，必须从医院和市政废水中有效去除病原体。
