Gamaliel K. Jarek. (2025). Family-Friendly Hydrological Treatment Techniques.

Family-oriented hydrological management integrates clean water treatment technologies with principles of safety, affordability, and sustainability at the household level. This study examines hydrological treatment methods that can be easily adopted by families, focusing on their effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and practicality. A literature review of studies from 2015 to 2025 was conducted to evaluate techniques such as biosand filters, membrane filtration, and rainwater harvesting systems. The findings reveal that biosand filters, membrane filtration, and rainwater harvesting systems are effective and affordable solutions for household water treatment. These techniques can be implemented with minimal investment and offer significant improvements in water quality by removing contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals. The study also emphasizes the importance of family education and local policy support in ensuring the successful adoption and maintenance of these technologies. Raising awareness about proper usage and maintenance can enhance the long-term sustainability of water treatment methods at the household level. In conclusion, family-friendly hydrological treatment techniques, when combined with educational efforts and supportive policies, can significantly improve water quality and contribute to sustainable water management practices in households.
