Comment on article: 'Performance of multistage filtration using different filter media against conventional water treatment systems'

Abstract

30 (3) 361-367) Ochieng et al. (2004) compared the performance of multi-stage (gravel + slow-sand) filtration (MSF) systems with conventional water treatment systems based on rapid sand filtration (RSF). Their hypothesis is that an MSF system can perform better than an RSF system. This line of research is particularly important in the scope of appropriate technologies for developing countries. Multi-stage filtration has many advantages over conventional treatment systems, especially considering low-income settings.
