The process of removal of natural organic matter from groundwater by adsorption on powdered activated carbon, coagulation and flocculation was investigated. It was found that the combination of these processes yielded a decrease of KMnO4 values, which allowed the reduction of the coagulant concentration, needed to achieve the necessary quality of drinking water, up to 50%. Also, it was established that the sequence of adding powdered activated carbon and coagulant is one of the essential factors determining the efficiency of NOM removal from water, and which is primarily conditioned by the nature of the organic matter present in the investigated water.
