Abstract

ABSTRACT The availability of clean and safe drinking water remains a global challenge, particularly in developing countries. This project explores the potential of use Moringa Oleifera seeds as a natural, cost-effective, and eco-friendly water purification method. The study involves the extraction of coagulant proteins from Moringa seeds and their application in the treatment of contaminated water. Parameters such as turbidity, pH, and microbial content were monitored to evaluate the purification efficiency. The results demonstrated that Moringa Oleifera seeds are effective in improving water quality, 88% turbidity reduction and 90% microbial reduction making them a viable alternative for water purification in resource-limited settings.
