What is it about?
In urban poor areas of the developing countries, the uncontrolled discharge of grey water into streets and open spaces has led to street deterioration, disease outbreaks, and odour problems. The grey water generated from the urban poor is highly polluted with pathogens and organic and inorganic substances. Vermifiltration is another sanitation option preferred by urban poor as it can treat the greywater in a single facility. It is also cheap and can be implemented in limited area. Therefore, it is important to compare filter materials with different depth and composition. This paper is all bout performance comparsion for for different composition and depth.

Why is it important?
The composition and depth variation of filter materials is the unique. It is also a new experiment for the area and the concentrated greywater generated from the urban poor.
