Proposed drinking water treatment system implementing activated carbon and calcium hypochlorite composition filters to prevent health problems of the inhabitants of irregular periurban areas
The consequence of the growth of irregular settlements, the poor disposal of their domestic gray water and solid waste damages the bodies of water, resulting in damage to the health of the inhabitants. Objective to design a filter for the inhabitants of marginalized areas that do not have the basic services of drinking water and drainage, to reduce the pollutants present in the water and organic matter present that damage h The filter will prevent the water extracted from the well and from the drinking water intake, which supplies about 100 families, from affecting their health. The irregular settlements do not have basic services so the purpose is to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, not only to focus on a single settlement, but to replicate it in other municipalities so that the inhabitants will no longer suffer injuries or illnesses from contaminated water. Methodology we use the following NOM-014-SSA1-1993, evaluating physical and microbiological parameters with the technique Readycult Enterococos-100 and Readycult E.Coli 100. Training to give workshops on the implementation of filters in household intakes and water intakes supplied by wells, on the handling of calcium hypochlorite tablets and the quantities of activated carbon.
