This study was carried out to evaluate of water purification in oxidation pond with filaments algae mat. It is the water treatment process in the small rural streams to remove the organic materials and nutrients. We used the filaments algae mat(FAM) which selectively predominate to prevent the additional contamination by algae outflow. The removal efficiencies of COD, SS, T-N and T-P in oxidation pond with filaments algae mat were -2.5%, 84.7%, 63.9% and 89.2%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P which are nutrients index were high. Results of this study would help us to determine the possibility of using the water treatment on the contaminated small rural streams.
