English Abstract
In this study, water samples were taken from three sites along Diyala River.
The third site of old Diyala Barrage was more polluted than the first sites of Baʼqubah and the second site in Khan Bani Saad.
For this reason, the water taken from this site was treated with the seeds extract of Gusen Al-Ban Tree (Moringa oleifera Lamarck) and study the changes in water quality before and after treatment.
The preparation of dried seed powder of Gusen Al-Ban Tree of the six concentrations were activated with 100ml of distilled water and that was treated with raw water in 20% of the dilution.
After treatment with raw water by Jar test, samples were analyzed for all the parameters such as pH, turbidity, TSS, and bacterial examination.
The results of the present study showed that Gusen Al-Ban seed has more coagulant activity specific at concentration 10 and 15 percentage, in this concentration the turbidity values and total suspended solid were zero.
The results of the present study demonstrated that Gusen Al-Ban seeds extract was efficient against bacteria found in raw water.
The concentration (1%, 2%, 3% and 5%) of Gusen Al-Ban seeds extract reduced the number of bacteria in raw water to about (93.75%, 95.5%, 99.37% and 99.68%) respectively.
Whereas the concentration (10% and 15%) of Gusen Al-Ban seeds, extract reduced the number of bacteria to 100%.
It was concluded from the current study that the Gusen Al-Ban seed is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and a natural coagulant, which is effective against the causes of water-borne diseases.
