The main objective of this work is comparing the effectiveness of alum as a chemical coagulant and M.oleifera as natural coagulant for treating river water. In this study, the water sample was collected from Cauvery River, at Srirangam, Trichy. Various concentration of alum viz 15,25,35,45 ppm and M.oleifera viz 10,20,30,40 ppm were taken. Before and after treatment of river sample were analyzed of physical parameters like pH, Turbidity, TDS, Electrical conductivity and chemical parameters like Total Hardness, alkanity, Chloride, Fe. The present study discussed that treating turbid water from river with alum and Moringa oleifera as coagulant and for further purification required simple sand filtration assembly for rural people purpose.Keywords: Alum, Moringa oleifera, Turbidity, Physical parameters, Chemical Parameters.
