THETRAN SEEDS-WATER PURIFYING

 
        Seeds of the plant species Strychnos  potatorum and Moringa oleifera contain naturalpolyelectrolytes which can be used as coagulants to purify turbid waters. In laboratory tests, direct filtration of a turbid surface water (turbidity 15–25 NTU,  heterotrophic bacteria280–500 cfu ml 21, and fecal coliforms 280– 500 MPN 100 ml 21 ),        With seeds of S. potatorum or M.oleifera as coagulant, produces a substantial improvement in its aesthetic and       microbiological quality (turbidity 0.3–1.5 NTU, heterotrophic bacteria 5–20 cfu ml 21, and fecal coliforms 5–10MPN 100ml21). The method      appears  suitable for home water treatment in rural areas of developing countries. These natural coagulants produce a ‘low risk’ water; however, additional disinfection or boiling should be practised during localised outbreaks/epidemics of enteric infections.
