Abstract


One of the major sources is water which is essential for the environment, human beings, plants and animals. At present, in this study, in order to modify the test result with pH, Total hardness, Calcium hardness, Turbidity, TDS, Chloride, Sulphate and Nitrate for the bore well water with the help of filter unit which contains clearing nut, camel grass, fenugreek, black pepper, cumin seeds, cotton, sand, aggregate are set up with 5 inch PVC pipe with the height of 5 feet. The initial tests of bore water for pH, Total hardness, Calcium hardness, Turbidity, TDS, Chloride, Sulphate and Nitrate have done and from this experimental set up, the results were carried out for pH, Total hardness, Calcium hardness, Turbidity, TDS, Chloride, Sulphate and Nitrate. In this study, bore water efficiency and purity of water were increased with the help of these clearing nuts as a natural filter media.
