WaterAid (2013) Gravity-fed schemes
A gravity-fed supply from a small upland river, stream or spring, impounded within a protected catchment, is an example of a sustainable water supply technology requiring no treatment. An additional benefit is that, using the force of gravity, water can be transported by pipework to tapstands placed near to homes, reducing the work involved in carrying water. The capital costs of gravity-fed schemes are, on average, […]

Velten, S. (2008) Adsorption capacity and biological activity of biological activated carbon filters in drinking water treatment
Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters have been used for decades to remove various kinds of organic micropollutants (MP), disinfectant by-products and taste and odor (T&O) compounds from water by adsorption. In recent years chemical oxidation by ozonation was implemented in many treatment plants before GAC filtration. During ozonation a substantial fraction of the natural organic matter (NOM) present in surface waters is oxidized to smaller […]
