Water purification via removal of turbidity and bacteria using Moringa oleifera lam. Seed powder

Malaysian waters are highly turbid and comprising of suspended material such as mud, heavy metals, and bacteria which is not safe for human. Most of the illnesses that are associated with waterborne diseases are cholera, diarrhea, and dysentery. Conventional chemical coagulants in water treatments p...
