A RESEARCH ON INVESTIGATION OF EFFECT OF NATURAL COAGULANT (STEM OF TULSI) FOR REDUCTION OF PH, TURBIDITY AND COD FROM SEWAGE WATER: LOW COST WATER PURIFICATION

Abstract

Access to clean water is a fundamental human necessity for maintaining health and well-being. Unfortunately, millions of people worldwide lack access to adequate supplies of fresh and clean drinking water, particularly in communities in developing countries. The contamination of water sources in these areas contributes significantly to numerous fatalities, prompting concerted efforts to ensure access to safe and purified drinking water. Fortunately, there has been a proliferation of efficient and cost-effective water purification systems globally, aimed at facilitating access to clean water. This project endeavors to develop a low-cost water purification technique utilizing locally available herbal filter materials, such as Tulsi stem powder.

Key Words: - Turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD).
