Composite Correction Programme (CCP) is a water treatment plant optimization program that improves water treatment operation with limited capital investment by optimizing particle removal from water treatment plants. It has been reported that many microbial pathogens, particularly Cryptosporidium, are recalcitrant to disinfection due to their resistance to chlorine or escapes conventional treatment due to small size. With the application of achieving proper particle removal by improving water treatment processes, these pathogens can be removed and safe drinking water for citizens can be ensured. On other hand Water safety plan (WSP) has wider approach to protect and provide safe drinking water. It attempts to address the overall issue of complete programme wherein a source to delivery of water to the consumers is mapped through different means to assess the risk of contamination at various levels.
