"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."
