Nevertheless, some points of agreement were found in terms of organoleptic characteristics (e.g., odour, colour) and physicochemical parameters in certain water sources. In general, locals do not recognise the deterioration of their water supply, but the importance of organoleptic characteristics in local perception should be highlighted. These aspects speak of a need to promote opportunities for dialogue, and implement effective health measures, taking local perspectives into account. In order to improve the removal rates of paracetamol and amoxicillin present in water, activated carbons prepared from argan waste were designed as a support for a biofilm-based on E. coli yielding microporous materials with high surface areas, in such a way that the biofilm support could be made homogeneously on the internal and external surface of the material. Adsorption studies without the presence of the biofilm showed rapid kinetics with adsorption constants kPCT = 0.06 and kAMX = 0.007 min-1. The adsorption isotherms could be described by the Langmuir isotherm model reaching a maximum adsorption capacity of qPCT = 502 and qAMX = 319 mg g-1. In contrast, the results obtained for the materials that support the biofilm showed slow kinetics (kPCT = 0.007 and kAMX = 0.003 min-1) and a remarkable change in the shape of the adsorption isotherms, since the experimental data are better represented by a combined Langmuir-Freundlich model, in which three important stages are observed (i) In a first stage, adsorption is carried out in those spaces available after supporting the biofilm in the surface of the ACs. Once these spaces have been saturated, a second stage (ii) is present with an exponential behavior typical of the Freundlich isotherm, attributed to the
