Abstract

This work has been carried out to improve the quality of drinking water of municipal supply of Vangaon, Palghar (MH) region with the application of naturally available materials of activated charcoal, sand aggregates, gravel, red clay, river sand, sawdust. During this work, examination of treated and untreated sample water for turbidity, PH value, hardness and total dissolved solids (TDS) analysed. The results showed the significant decreased, up to 85% in the reduction of TDS. Treatment with the activated charcoal also help’s in purification of water and eliminate the pathogen’s present in it. It has been examined that charcoal, river sand, red clay, sawdust were also more effective in clearing of suspended organic and inorganic matter present in water sample. This work evaluates the use of natural materials, which are an economical and eco-friendly.
