Water treatment plays a vital role in ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water. Traditional methods of water treatment often rely on synthetic coagulants, which may have adverse effects on human health and the environment. In recent years, there has been growing interest in exploring the use of natural coagulants derived from plant and microbial sources. This paper provides an overview of water treatment techniques using natural coagulants, highlighting their effectiveness in removing turbidity, suspended solids, and contaminants. The potential benefits of natural coagulants, such as their biodegradability, low cost, and abundance, are discussed. Additionally, the challenges associated with the use of natural coagulants and strategies to overcome these challenges are explored. This paper emphasizes the importance of further research and development in the field of natural coagulants for sustainable water treatment solutions.
