Abstract:
This paper begins with an overview of the origin, magnitude, geographical distribution and
health consequences of consumption of mercury contaminated water around the world and
further zeroed down to Manye Village, Tira town council in Busia district. Access to safe
drinking water in many developing countries is a challenge due to inadequate technology and
low-income base to carry out proper treatment.
This study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of a three-chamber water purification
system for potable water use to provide Manye village with treated water.
