My experience from an engineering side is limited, but from a social and acceptance side, please be advised that a strong community engagement and education programme may be necessary. In rural Tanzania, I encountered a very nice UV disinfection programme for small rural communities. However, no awareness raising was undertaken. As such, none of the community would drink/trust the water that was UV disinfected, and instead, only drank unsafe water from shallow dug wells. (The male community members believed it would make them sterile.) Good luck with your research.

Thanks,
Our work will be done at rural European communities where people don't like the chlorine taste and are curious and interested about any economic and tasteless solution with no residues.
Your experience is very interesting because it demonstrates the importance of society education and prior implication on proposed solutions. Explain the project and convince people is necessary to project success, of course!
