“…However, the Bolivian high plain is known for its semi-arid climate characterised by low levels of rainfall, high evapotranspiration rates and soils with low water retention capacities. [10,11] There is a general shortage of water. In combination with an extensive water demand and pollution of ground-and surface waters by mining activities, safe water resources are scarce.…”

Arsenic in drinking water wells on the Bolivian high plain: Field monitoring and effect of salinity on removal efficiency of iron-oxides containing filters K. VAN Synthetic drinking water could be treated effectively by the IOCS and CIM based filters reducing As to concentrations lower than 10 µg L -1 . High levels of chloride and sulphate did not influence As removal efficiency. However, phosphate concentrations in the range from 4 to 24 mg L -1 drastically decreased removal efficiency of the IOCS based filter but had no effects on removal efficiency of the CIM based filter. Results of this study can be used as a base for further testing and practical implementation of drinking water purification in the Oruro region.

Mixing of waters with different compositions is a common phenomenon. The pH of mixed water can be calculated by introducing charge neutrality equation into the equations for equilibrium distribution calculation of species in water. In this paper, the equations thus obtained were solved by golden section method. To verify the calculation method, laboratory experiments were done for three sets of mixing water. The results showed the calculated pH values are in good agreement with measured ones.
