The level of treatment required to meet an acceptable level of risk based on 1 L consumption for Giardia concentrations ranging from 34 cysts per 100 litres to 3400 cysts per 100 litres in raw water is presented graphically. The x-axis of the graph is the raw water concentrations of cysts per 100 litres using a log scale. The y-axis of the graph is the log removal using a linear scale. The relationship between the values on the x-axis and the values on the y-axis for the risk level of 10-6 DALY per person per year creates a diagonal line. Two examples of treatment requirements are illustrated on the graph using dotted lines. The first example draws a horizontal dotted line from the y-axis at 3 log removal. This dotted line intersects the diagonal line at 34 cysts per 100 litres of raw water. The second example draws a horizontal dotted line from the y-axis at 5 log removal. This dotted line intersects the diagonal line at 3400 cysts per 100 litres of raw water.
