Moringa Water Purification
Moringa seed powder can be used as a quick and simple method for cleaning dirty river water. Studies showed that this simple method of filtering not only diminishes water pollution, but also harmful bacteria. The moringa powder joins with the solids in the water and sinks to the bottom. This treatment also removes 90-99% of bacteria contained in water
By using Moringa seeds people will no longer be depending on expensive means originating from the West. Using Moringa to purify water replaces chemicals such as aluminium sulphate, which are dangerous to people and the environment, and are expensive.
Water from varying sources will need different amounts of Moringa seeds powder because of the impurities present will not be the same. Experiments with a jar will help in working out the correct amount needed.
The first jar is raw river water.
The second is moringa coagulating the sediments, bacteria and impurities. Not shown is a layer of brown at the bottom of the jar.
The third has had the water poured off, carefully leaving the sediment and bacteria caught in the moringa at the bottom of the jar. The process takes about 20 minutes for 5 litres and only about one seed per litre! Amazing.
It's not completely pure, but for those regularly drinking from the river, the reduction of filth can make the difference in fighting off disease and many water borne illnesses.
We love that!
