High volumes of waste-water from an aquaculture pond are released every day during water exchange into surrounding natural water bodies which directly influence the nutrient dynamics of these bodies. Discharge of untreated or partially treated water containing high concentrations of nitrogen into water bodies will contribute to deterioration of water quality, human health problems and accelerated eutrophication (Pardueetal1994).This is especially serious when the same water is being drawn in by adjacent aquaculture facilities and more importantly, when it becomes an important source water for the needs of the surrounding communities. The second reason is the need to create a system wherein much of the water being released can be treated and recycled back into the culture system through the implementation of appropriate re-circulation technologies. This study investigated the suitability of Moringa oleifera seed extract as a natural coagulant for waste water treatment. Highly turbid water was collected from Annagaripalem of Kavali mandal of SPSR Nellore district A.P. Water samples were dosed with Moringa oleifera seed extract: 150mg/l. The collected water samples were analyzed before and after treatment with Moringa oleifera seed extract for different parameters– pH, conductivity, turbidity and total solids to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of Moringa oleifera seed extract in treating highly turbid water Significant reduction in all parameters analyzed with Moringa oleifera seed extract was observed, with the exception of the pH, which remained fairly constant at all doses. It was therefore concluded that Moringa oleifera seed extract acts as a natural coagulant for the treatment of highly turbid water that is released from the aqua-cultural forms.
