   The possibilities of utilizing phenomena accompanying various electric discharges in water such as UV radiation, shock wave, ozone formation etc. for water decontamination are analyzed. The results of experimental investigations of a device are presented which show advantages of a new phenomenon observed in electric discharge in submerged water stream for destruction of pathogenic germs.
