| dc.description.abstract | Clean water in rural communities is a major problem in developing countries. The access to safe drinking water in the rural community is occurred due to the absence potable water distribution network. This problem causes health risks in humans. Therefore it is essential to study household water treatment mechanisms like ceramic water filtration. To overcome water pollution at the household level composite ceramic water filter is best solution. Clay composite ceramic filter (BCF) fabricated from clay, charcoal, and sawdust. The materials selected were available in the local area. The main goal of this study was to produce a low-cost filtration system using locally available materials and to find the suitability of those materials For this study, Ceramic filters were prepared from clay and sawdust. The study analyzed the physiochemical and biological parameters of water quality at the household level of drinking water in rural communities. In this study, the filter was composed of clay to sawdust ratio of 100:0,80:20,70:30,50:50 and 45:55. Using the fabricated ceramic water filter filtration was done and the filtered water quality was analyzed at the laboratory. A laboratory scale unit is made for study; water passed through the filter is then collected and analyzed. The results showed that the removal efficiency of turbidity was good using proportion of 100:0, 80:20 and 70:30 which was recorded as 91.9 ,94 and 94.2% respectively. The bacteriological efficiency of ceramic filters increases by increasing the ratio of clay material. But the flow rate decreases by increasing the ratio of clay material. The FC removal efficiency shows 100%. In the study the ceramic filter produced using material proportion of 70% clay and 30% sawdust was in both removal efficiency as well as flow rate compared to other ceramic filter type.
