Abstract: In this paper, use of Moringa Oleifera seeds to improve the quality of drinking water was investigated. A study was carried out to know the efficiency of Moringa Oleifera seed suspension for removal of turbidity of water. Turbid water sample of low turbidity (50 mg/L) was prepared in the laboratory using bentonite clay, kaolin clay and black cotton soil. Moringa Oleifera seed suspension was added as coagulant in concentration of 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/L The dosages of Moringa Oleifera seed suspension were 125, 250, 375 and 500 mg/L. Moringa Oleifera seed suspension was found to be effective in treating the water
