Supervisor: Prof. M.W. Jayaweera, Prof. J.M.A. Manatunge, Prof. B. Gunawardena Department: Civil Engineering Faculty: Engineering One hypothesis on the CKDu pathogenesis is long-term exposure to Fluoride and Hardness in potable water and their synergic effects. Furthermore, faecal contamination of potable water in CKDu prevalent areas also causes water-borne diseases. The available water treatment units do not remove Fluoride, Hardness, and Fecal Coliform in water to meet the required drinking water guideline values. Hence, removing Fluoride, Hardness, and Fecal Coliform is a prerequisite in providing safe drinking water for people in CKDu prevalent areas. |

. This study investigated the best combination of materials to develop a water purification unit to remove Fluoride, Hardness, and Fecal Coliform in potable water. Modified fly ash (Zeolite), MgO-loaded alumina, silver oxide nanoparticle + graphene oxide incorporated matrix was proposed as the best combination of materials to fabricate a multi-layer filter unit to remove Fluoride, Hardness, and Fecal Coliform effectively from the potable water.
