Potable Water - Filtration
... humans have walked the earth, they have quested for pure drinking water. Sanskrit writings dating back to 2000 B.C. describe how to purify water by boiling it over a fire or filtering it through sand and gravel. The first municipal water plant was installed in Scotland in 1804. Slow sand filtration was first used for municipal water plants in the U.S. in 1872. There have been many
