    Reverse osmosis is presented as an alternative to chlorination for water treatment. Chlorination is widely used but has drawbacks like not guaranteeing microorganism removal and forming potential carcinogens. Reverse osmosis uses pressure to push water through a membrane, removing impurities and microbes without chemicals. It improves water quality by improving taste and removing all harmful substances, while being easier to maintain than chlorination. Although chlorination has benefits, reverse osmosis is concluded to be the best modern approach due to the health risks of chlorination.
