DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF CERAMIC WATER FILTER PREPARED FROM DRIED DUCKWEED PLANT
ABSTRACT: Most of the available water sources such as streams, rivers and wells have been impaired by anthropogenic activities thereby rendering them unsafe for consumption. This has made access to clean potable water a mirage to communities situated in the semi urban areas, hence, increasing their daily risk of contracting water borne diseases.
