Hello HWTS Network members,
I want to share a publication with you about household slow sand filters for water treatment. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the Household slow sand filters design, operational parameters/conditions (flow regime, filtration rate, maintenance, feeding volume, pause period), performance, removal effectiveness and field experience.
It is a good source of information for many key parameters, including turbidity, organic matter, nitrogen compounds, metals, emerging pollutants and microorganisms (bacteria, virus, protozoa, algae and cyanobacteria).
For more information contact the corresponding author (L.P. Sabogal-Paz) at: lysaboga@sc.usp.br.
Happy Holidays to all.
