Study on comparison of bio-cocosand filter and biosand filter for drinking water treatment in rural area
Biosand Filter usually is used for household capacities since it is small, easy to build and maintenance but highly effective in purify water that have contaminant. Biosand filter is adapted from conventional slow sand filter for intermittent usage and it is suitable for the rural area, which their...
