Comparative analysis of water quality in different locations of canoly canal and the effect of moringa olifera seeds on water quality treatment

We are all well aware of the importance of safe drinking water. But nowadays so many people in both rural and urban areas suffer lot due to the lack of safe drinking water. The major reason for this found to be the uncontrolled disposal of wastes and garbage’s to the water sources. The present study mainly aims to determine the water quality parameters of different regions of Canoly canal, which was the most discussing and serious environmental issue nowadays. For the present study, we have collected water samples from 3 locations of Canoly canal near Chavakkad area. Even though there are many studies have been carried out regarding the water quality of various sources, comparative analysis of water quality in different locations of Canoly canal and the effect of Moringa olifera seeds on water quality treatment is a new attempt. From the present study, we could analyze that pollution was maximum at Chavakkad city region as compared to the other 2 locations and Moringa olifera seeds have an important coagulating and water purifying capacity, which reduced the turbidity, colour, electrical conductivity of water samples and help to maintain fairly good pH. So application of low coast Moringa olifera seeds could be a better alternative for eco-friendly, non toxic and simple water purification rather than that of much more costly chemical substance like ferrous sulphate, aluminium sulphate, alum etc.
