The primary reason riverbank filtration provides more consistent water quality compared to direct surface water intakes is the natural filtration process that occurs as surface water flows through the riverbank sediments. Riverbank filtration involves extracting water from wells located near a river or lake. As the surface water infiltrates through the soil and aquifer material of the riverbank, it undergoes a series of physical, chemical, and biological filtration processes. The soil act....
