DESIGN OF WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Water scarcity has become one of the most serious problems nowadays. The recycling of water from sources like rain water harvester, ponds, rivers, discharge from industry are very crucial to combat water scarcity. Testing were conducted to find out different impurities present in the raw water. The filter materials and disinfectant were selected based on the different impurities present in the raw water. Test results of raw water filtered with the device showed remarkable decrease in bacterial presence and other impurities. The proposed water filtration system is portable, modular and easy to maintain.
