Conclusions
In summary, predicting pathogenic microorganism removal by RBF requires a sophisticated understanding of the flow and transport of biological particles within a porous media ecotope. The ecotope is biologically complex and difficult to study in the field. Similarly, the much more accessible schmutzdecke layer overlying a slow sand filter is poorly understood. Despite these problems, there have been significant recent improvements in understanding due to work in Germany, The Netherlands, and the United States. Nevertheless, more work remains necessary, in particular along the direction outlined in this chapter.
