Distinguish between the treatment system for ground water and surface water?
I think you mean the difference in the treatment of surface water and well water. Surface water will have more solids in it (dirt, grit) as well as disolved minerals. Well water comes from underground and the earth itself acts as a filter and has already removed most of the solids. Both are aeriated (part of taste and odor control). If iron is present in the water it will oxidize. Chemicals are added that make the iron and solids larger and heaver. These solids are then allowed to settle to the bottom and the clearer water drawn off. Disinfectants (ozone or chlorine) added to kill bacteria is added in several points of the process. The water is then filtered (surface water requires a longer filter time than well water). Water is then stored until needed for pumping into the elevated tanks.
