Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treatment and/or purification of water, in particular wastewater or drinking water, preferably for the adsorptive removal of inorganically or organically-based, impurities, such as trace substances and/or micropollutants, wherein, in a counterflow filter device, e.g. a counterflow adsorption filter column, the water that is to be treated and/or that is to be purified firstly, and, secondly, an, in particular particulate, adsorption material are conducted in a counterflow direction.
