Riverbank filtration (RBF) has been used for many decades in Europe and the United States to provide drinking water to communities located on riverbanks. In India, the development of RBF has the potential to provide drinking water to many cities located on the Ganga Plains currently using surface water as a source for their public water supply. Water diversion for irrigation and discharge of wastewater to rivers with extremely low flows has aggravated the water supply situation for many Indian cities using surface water. A number of Indian cities, with source waters of significantly varying quality, are already using RBF. In most of these cities no significant additional treatment is provided to the filtrate for their water supply. The objective of this article is to examine selected operating bank filtration sites in India (that have been investigated since 2005) and to elucidate additional potential RBF sites based on water problems and hydrogeologic suitability. A summary of selected operational RBF systems in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Haridwar, Mathura, Medinipur and Kharagpur, Nainital, Patna and Srinagar and their ability to produce potable water is provided. Analysis of the suitability of RBF for Allahabad, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, and Vijayawada, based on hydrogeology and land use, is also provided.

Eschborn: Ecological Sanitation Programme of the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ).IRFC International Water and Sanitation Centres provides a hygiene information box online with key reports, information communication instruction for specific regions, and hygiene promotion communication material for specific regions. It also includes training modules and links to further resources relevant for hygiene promotion software for emergencies. They work with governments, NGOs, entrepreneurs and people to find long-term solutions to the global crisis in water, sanitation and hygiene services and have various articles relating to humanitarian crisis and emergency settings. The IRC aims to move from short-term interventions to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene services. The think tank has articles, case studies and information on emergencies and humanitarian crisis regions.
