Bank filtration of river or lake water represents an efficient and natural purification process used for the drinking water production in many countries and at an amount of about 15-16% in Germany. From experiences over decades particularly at the river Rhine and Elbe, it is known that the occurrence of persistent pollutants in river water can represent a problem for the quality of drinking wat...

Abstract Despite being a simple and inexpensive pretreatment technology, the cost-effectiveness of riverbank filtration (RBF) depends on complex hydrogeological hydrogeochemical variables. One most important issues for decision makers regarding RBF is optimal site selection. Therefore, methodology multicriteria evaluation large-scale schemes offered. The primarily designed as prescreening metho...

The transport and filtration behavior of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in columns packed with quartz sand was systematically examined under repulsive electrostatic conditions. An increase in solution ionic strength resulted in greater oocyst deposition rates despite theoretical predictions of a significant electrostatic energy barrier to deposition. Relatively high deposition rates obtained wi...

Abstract Riverbank filtration (RBF) is a natural process where river water induced to flow through riverbed soils pumping wells located on the banks. It well-established and proven treatment technology by having series of physical chemical processes during subsurface passage. This paper aims at measurement characteristics groundwater from riverbank Kg. Jenderam Hilir, Selangor assess effectiven...

Safe drinking water is a top priority in preventing disease outbreaks and is of general concern to everyone. This study examines the occurrence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in Hungarian drinking water supplies for the first time. A total of 76 raw and drinking water samples were examined using the U.S. EPA Method 1623. From these 15 of 34 (48.4%) raw water samples tested positive for Giardia ...

Riverbank filtration (RBF) consists of green drinking water production in many regions and is used as a pre-treatment phase. This study investigates the performance RBF Nile delta, Egypt, for climate change population growth scenarios 2030, 2040, 2050. presents new method predicting sharing riverbanks considering three cases: i) river stage controlling levels river, ii) increasing pumping, iii)...
