The filtration system, developed with a budget of 60,000 THB, was specifically designed to remove contaminants commonly found in groundwater, such as iron, manganese, and hardness. Field tests and sampling were conducted in five target areas across Sakon Nakhon Province to assess groundwater quality and adapt the filtration design to local conditions. The system uses efficient, low-cost materials and is user-friendly, making it a practical solution for rural communities.
