Evaluation of a multi-barrier household system as an alternative to surface water treatment with microbiological risks

Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS) are recommended to supply the demand for drinking water in communities without conventional water supply systems. However, there is a lack of long-term laboratory studies regarding such technologies. We evaluated the contributions of each step of a m...

520 |a Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS) are recommended to supply the demand for drinking water in communities without conventional water supply systems. However, there is a lack of long-term laboratory studies regarding such technologies. We evaluated the contributions of each step of a multi-barrier system with pretreatment (sedimentation and fabric filtration), filtration in Household Slow Sand Filters (HSSFs) and disinfection (sodium hypochlorite) treating surface water for more than 14 consecutive months. Removal of turbidity, colour, organic matter, coliform group bacteria and protozoa were evaluated. Two HSSF models were compared, one with a diffuser vessel (HSSF-d) and one with a gravity float equipped vessel (HSSF-f). Correlations between efficiency and operational parameters were assessed. Overall, the multi-barrier system removed more than 90% of turbidity and more than 3.5 log of Escherichia coli. HSSF removed up to 3.0 log of Giardia spp. and 2.4 log of Cryptosporidium spp. HSSF-f presented significantly higher removal rates for turbidity, apparent colour and E. coli. Disinfection resulted in water with E. coli concentration lower than 1 CFU 100mL-1, however it was not able to inactivate protozoa. The evaluated system was able to reduce microbiological risks from water and could indeed be an alternative to communities that depend on surface water as their main source of supply. Nevertheless, further studies are recommended to include a low-cost disinfectant for protozoa inactivation
