Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera (M.
oleifera ) seed powder (MOSP) alone and in combination with household
sand filter (MOSP+F) in water purification. Treatment with MOSP+F
produced 99.97% reduction in E. coli compared with 98.16% reduction
obtained from MOSP treatment alone. Water treatment with M. oleifera
seed powder in combination with household sand filter was found to be
more effective for water purification than treatment with Moringa seed
powder alone. This method should be encouraged in communities without
safe water supply.
