| Abstract | This study investigates the possibility of iron removal by a simple low cost technique of filtration, using coarse sand of effective size 3 mm and proposes a simple filtering unit to be constructed in conjunction with handpumps in iron prone areas. An attempt is also made to determine the possibility of backwashing under low heads. The efficiency of the unit with different loading concentration has also been determined. |
