Removing fine turbidity from spring water in DRC
Hi - one of our gravity fed schemes in DRCongo has very fine turbidity particles, making the water almost milky in appearance. We have tried settling the water, filtering it through m cloths, even force-filtering it through pressure membrane apparatus, but the turbidity remains (around 300 NTU). My only thought for solving this is to use slow sand filtration 9We are not in a position to adopt reverse osmosis in this isolated rural context). Do you concur with this opinion, or have any other ideas?
