Highlights

•: MF/UF membranes finer remove leaner especially later on chemical modification.
•: Later on pretreatment to preclude fouling, NF/RO can remove ionic and saline content.
•: SSF, or RSF if land employ is express, is recommended for developing countries.
•: GAC combined with MF or SSF is a sustainable option for drinking water production.
•: Compared to RO, MF/UF with some pretreatment can exist a more cost-constructive option.

Meaning growth of the human population is expected in the future. Hence, the pressure on the already scarce natural h2o resources is continuously increasing. This piece of work is an overview of membrane and filtration methods for the removal of pollutants such as bacteria, viruses and heavy metals from surface h2o. Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration (MF/UF) tin can be highly effective in eliminating bacteria and/or human activity as pre-treatment before Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis (NF/RO) to reduce the possibility of fouling. However, MF/UF membranes are produced through relatively intensive procedures. Moreover, they tin can be modified with chemical additives to amend their operation. Therefore, MF/UF applicability in less developed countries can exist limited. NF shows high removal adequacy of certain contaminants (eastward.g. pharmaceutically agile compounds and ionic compounds). RO is necessary for desalination purposes in areas where sea water is used for drinking/sanitation. All the same, NF/RO systems require pre-treatment of the influent, increased electrical supply and high level of technical expertise. Thus, they are often a highly costly addition for countries under development. Deadening Sand Filtration (SSF) is a uncomplicated and easy-to-operate process for the retentiveness of solids, microorganisms and heavy metals; land utilize is a limiting gene, though. Rapid Sand Filtration (RSF) is an culling responding to the need for optimized state utilize. Nevertheless, it requires prior and post handling stages to prevent fouling. Especially after coating with metal-based additives, sand filtration can constitute an efficient and sustainable handling choice for developing countries. Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorbs organic compounds that were not filtered in previous treatment stages. It can be used in conjunction with other methods (east.g. MF and SSF) to face pollution that results from potentially outdated water network (particularly in less developed areas) and, hence, produce water of acceptable drinking quality. Futurity research can focus on the potential of GAC production from culling sources (e.g. municipal waste). Given the loftier product/operation/maintenance cost of the NF/RO systems, more cost-constructive only equally effective alternatives can be implemented: e.thou. (electro)coagulation/flocculation followed by MF/UF, SSF before/afterwards MF/UF, MF/UF before GAC.
