No doubt this has been discussed many times when I wasn't paying
attention, but I am seeking informatyion on extremely low-cost water
filtration/purification systems that can be made and used in rural areas
of Panama where there is access to river water, for populations of
100-300 people.

Thanks, Elizabeth Dougherty
