    Abstract
    The effectiveness of diatomaceous earth filtration of drinking water was studied under various operating conditions for removal of Giardia lamblia cysts, total coliform bacteria, standard plate count bacteria, turbidity, and particles.

Temperatures ranged from 5° to 19°C, and concentrations of Giardia cysts and bacteria were varied over two or more log cycles.
