Saving energy no uphill task with mountain water
Untitled Document Even in regions where it is abundant, water for human consumption must be treated before it is fit for use. Water sources in areas with karsts, crevasses and fissured rocks are frequently plagued by high turbidity and bacterial content. In these circumstances, membrane filtration represents an efficient method of treatment. In mountainous regions, for ...
