A first approach to the potential of riverbank filtration (RBF) to be used in Colombia as an alternative in the treatment of drinking water was the main focus of this dissertation. This technology involves removing water from a surface current through a well on the floodplain and use the aquifer as a physical, chemical and biological filter. RBF has been used in Europe for over a century, but its systematic study is relatively recent and so far, besides the United States, few countries have used, or even explored, its potential. In view of the high costs associated with conventional surface water treatment techniques used in the country, plus the fact that more than half the population has no access to water of good quality, and that appare...
