Abstract
Groundwater in aquifers is one of the most significant renewable natural resources. It provides drinking water to more than 90% of the rural population. The majority of domestic and industrial garbage is disposed off in open dumping yards. As a result, groundwater becomes contaminated and of poor quality. Many therapy strategies are being used in various regions of the world to address this issue. We investigated the groundwater properties in a section of an industrial city in southern India and treated the contaminated groundwater using natural bio-coagulants in this study. Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jackfruit peel), Momordica charantia (Bitter gourd seed), Musa paradisiaca (Banana blossom leaf), and Cynodon dactylon were employed as eco-friendly bio-coagulants (Scutch grass). These coagulants are good at removing turbidity while also keeping the pH of the water stable. Furthermore, these natural coagulants lower BOD, COD, and salt levels. Groundwater can be utilised for home purposes after treatment. Because it is a low-cost and environmentally friendly approach, a vast population can afford it.
