Abstract

Abstract: In the existing situation, wastewater treatment is a challenging issue for living organism and biophysical environment. The polluted water sources posture a serious issue concerning the various health hazards they bring along. Renewable methods involving the use of ecofriendly and natural materials for pollutant removal from wastewaters can offer a satisfactory solution suitable well with the characterization of sustainability. A water purification process is designed to remove or reduce existing water contaminants to the point where the water is fit for use. The purification technologies used in this experiment will help to remove the contaminants and give clear appearance to water in addition to the improvement in its smell and taste. Due to low cost and local availability of the materials used, this method is easy and can be preferred by everyone. By using natural materials, it not only removes the contaminants it adds nutrients to the water also which is good for health. The material Strychnos potatorum, Zea mays, Chrysopogon zizanioides, Cuminum cyminum, activated charcoal, sand gravel helps to remove all the physical and chemical parameters from water and make the water drinkable.
