In order to identify the main DBP precursors, DOM was divided into five fractions based on molecular weight（MW）, trihalomethane formation potential and haloacetic acid formation potential were determined for fractions, and the change in contents of different fractions and total DBPs during treatment processes（pre-chlorination, coagulation, sand filtration,disinfection） were studied. Moreover, the relationship between bromide concentration and DBP generation characteristics in processes was also analyzed.

During different processes,pre-chlorination and disinfection had limited effect on removing organics but could alter the MW distribution, and coagulation and filtration could effectively remove organics with higher MW. For DBPs, trihalomethanes（THMs） were mainly generated in pre-chlorination and disinfection, while haloacetic acids（HAAs） were mostly generated during pre-chlorination; coagulation and sand filtration had little effect on THMs but resulted in a slight removal of HAAs.
