Abstract
People of North Cameroon must look for water at great distances from their homes during the dry season of the year. To provide water closer to villages series of internationally and bilaterally financed dams are being built to impound water in reservoirs. The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Republic of Cameroon is concerned that the dams do not increase health problems. One concern is the control of cercariae of human schistosomes. This paper reports on the literature survey on past filtration studies, presents data on filtration experiments, and gives design parameters for slow sand filtration plants to be built in North Cameroon.
