“…Against this backdrop, it is important to scientifically evaluate water quality, and understand the quality of water bodies in the county. The evaluation results will provide scientific basis for the protection of water environment, rationalize water exploitation and utilization, and promote the sustainable development of water resources [1][2][3].…”

“…The complexity and capacity of any drinking water systems vary by community. Despite extensive research into drinking water systems, there is a significant knowledge gap in assessing the performance of microsystems in comparison to medium and large water systems, and even small water systems (Bereskie, 2017) (Pokhrel, 2019) ( Haider, et al, 2014). Drinking water standards and guidelines have been established by institutions such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and Health Canada to ensure safe drinking water supply.…”

In this study, an effective and low-cost water treatment system is developed.At first, an investigation combining published literature, available information through different health regions and raw water sample data from participating communities was done. Through that investigation, a critical water contamination problem, experienced by the rural, remote, First Nation communities was identified, which is Manganese. Then a treatment system was developed to effectively remove Manganese from the source water.Greensand plus was used as a filtration media and the prototype was designed to best suit the need of the community residents to remove Manganese in raw water. The lab scale and prototype experiments were designed using design expert software; adsorption isotherm and kinetics study were also conducted.The prototype was able to reach a removal efficiency 96.50% which can effectively treat source water levels found in the raw water sample. Therefore, a fit-for-purpose solution is developed to remove Manganese from raw water, which is cost effective, easy to use and maintain. Cost effectiveness is demonstrated through comparison of the developed system with available typical clean water supply strategies.
