"Under suitable circumstances, slow sand filtration may
be not only the cheapest and simplest but also the most
efficient method of water treatment. Its advantages have
been proved in practice over a long period, and it is
still the chosen method of water purification in certain
highly industrialized cities as well as in rural areas
mid small communities. It has the great advantage over
other methods that it makes better use of the local skills
and materials available in developing countries, and it
is far more efficient than rapid filtration in removing
bacterial contamination."
