An appropriate technology for Southeast Asia was developed to provide potable water for rural communities using local filter materials. A series filtration system using these materials produced a sparkling clear water from highly turbid surface waters without the aid of coagulants. Effluent quality is comparable to that obtained from the best slow sand filters.
