The main objective of an ongoing project of the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) was to assess whether drinking water production by slow sand and bank filtration
is endangered by the occurence of microcystins in surface waters and if the elimination
potential of the sand or sediment with respect to microcystins is high enough to ensure safe
drinking water production throughout the year.
For this reason, experiments using technical scale slow sand filters were conducted with
microcystins on the UBA's experimental field in Berlin. In addition, field investigations were
carried out on a transect of observation wells situated between Berlin's Lake Wannsee and
one of the drinking water wells of the water works.
