Abstract
High-quality drinking water is a resource in high demand. Because of easy access and high productivity, alluvial aquifers can supply large quantities of drinking water. Water is pumped in the aquifer rather than directly in the river because it is generally assumed that filtration through the porous geological medium improves the quality of the water. Bank filtration either is the only treatment (usually in small communities) or serves as a pre-treatment (mostly in large urban areas) before the water is distributed to the consumer.
