| The water coverage area of Chhattisgarh according to Government survey is about 95%. But due to raising problem of pollution and lack of care, the quality of water is getting down and has become difficult to access pure water which is drinkable as well as cost effective. Traditional Matka (Clay Pot) filter is many times used in Chhattisgarh to solve this problem. Matka filter has been programmed successively in Bihar, India. For generations, earthen pots or Matka have been used to store water and keep it Cool. Water stored in Matka is cooled at about 10â°C and 14â°C and is said to have a refreshing flavour, makes it ideal for drinking. A different layer of physical particles as media (coal, sand, pebble, lime) in definite thickness of layer is considered in this study. Matka is a pot made by mixture of clay and sand. We considered water from different sources for comparison before and after filtration in terms of quality. It is possible to substitute the electronic purifier with Matka filter because of cost effective, easy to maintenance (does not require skilled person) in rural as well as urban area which is affected by ground water contamination. This convenient and handy filter successfully filter water from all the sources i.e., bore, tap and pond water. Now we are looking at improved service and improved quality of water. There has been a huge improvement from the last three decades, when the government started giving priority to drinking water and sanitation. |
