Abstract
The safe and clean water is necessary to the most of rural community. Slow sand system was proven to be sustainable and reliable drinking water treatment The majority of Sambo community using river as a source their daily activity. The water of the river containing a very high degree of contamination. The purpose of this study is to determine the model of Wisolo River Water treatment in order to obtain Clean Water in Sambo Village and then checked whether the physical content of the river water meets the water quality standard. From the results of the study using 3 (three) models of Wisolo River water filter processing layer variations, which are most ideal to use and meet the physical quality standards of clean water based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the layer variations in model I, namely with successive material composition from bottom to top: gravel = 20 cm, palm fiber = 20 cm, and sand = 50 cm.
Highlights
Water is necessary for many purposes ranging from domestic uses, industrial water supply, and irrigation
The slow sand filter was proven to be sustainable and reliable drinking water treatment alternative for a small community like Sambo community, which can be beneficial for addressing the small systems challenges
The objective of this research is to determine the performance of double stage slow sand filter during unsaturated flow condition in reducing iron, manganese, turbidity, and color that contained in Cikapundung river water
Summary
Water is necessary for many purposes ranging from domestic uses, industrial water supply, and irrigation. The slow sand filter was proven to be sustainable and reliable drinking water treatment alternative for a small community like Sambo community, which can be beneficial for addressing the small systems challenges. Slow sand filtration has been an effective water treatment process. Filtration is the process of passing water through the material to remove particulate and other impurities, including floc, from the water being treated. These impurities consist of suspended particles (fine silts and clays), biological matter (bacteria, plankton, spores, cysts or other matter), and floc. The material used in filters for public water supply is usually a bed of sand, coal, or other granular substance. Filtration processes can generally be classified as being either slow or rapid [1]
