Nowadays, water treatment is a big issue in\nrural areas especially in African country. Due to lack of\nfacilities available in those areas and the treatment are\nexpensive. In this regard�s an attempt has been made to\nfind alternative natural way to treat the rural drinking\nwater. The experiment trials were undertaken on the most\npromising plant extracts, namely: Moringa oleifera,\nJatropha curcas and Guar gum. The extracts were used to\ntreat contaminated water obtained from a number of wells.\nThe results showed that the addition of M. oleifera can\nconsiderably improve the quality of drinking water. A\n100 % improvement both in turbidity and reduction in\nEscherichia coli was noted for a number of the samples,\ntogether with significant improvements in colour.
