Day by day the quality of drinking water is deteriorating. Hence it is a need of the time to supply clean and safe drinking water to the public. Sand filtration is one of the techniques used for to obtain the clean water. According to the World Health Organization, water and sanitation are the primary drivers of public health. The main objective of this research work is to improve the filtration technologies to make them more sustainable and accessible for the public. This study focused on developing improved modified operating methods for rapid sand filtration technology. In this an attempt is made one modified rapid sand filter and compare with conventional rapid sand filter. The main objective to increase the overall efficiency of conventional rapid sand filters by some modification. For construction of modified filter PVC granules are used as capping material as well as ferric chloride also used. Both the material help to achieve the lower turbidity and total dissolved solid concentration.
