Summary

This practical guide is given over to the technologies used to make surface water drinkable adapted to small West African villages. Didactic and illustrated, it targets an audience involved in choosing purification systems: responsible public entities, technical personnel. The first part is devoted to the theoretical elements of treating the water. A second section focuses on the characteristics of the Senegal River plants. Part 3 sets out the parametres for choosing suitable technologies for each step in a treatment sector. The appendices each give details of techniques and their implementation in existing plants (operation, costs, etc.).
