A single family of plants and trees known as Moringa oleifera is cultivated over the whole tropical belt. One of the 14 recognised species, it is a member of the Moringaceae family. The tree is categorised as a multifunctional tree for life. It has gained popularity in recent years as a superb native source of highly digestible protein, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and carotenoids suitable for consumption in many of the world's poorest countries where malnutrition is a serious issue. The seeds may be consumed raw, roasted, ground, brewed in tea, or added to curries. It has been used for cosmetic purposes, dietary additives, therapeutic purposes, and water purification. A polyelectrolyte has been discovered as one of the active elements in M. oleifera seed. Its use as a coagulant, co-coagulant, or coagulant assistance has been the subject of research in many parts of the globe. It has been determined that softening water with M. oleifera may have additional benefits since it is paired with very little loss of alkalinity, which is required to provide the necessary buffering capacity to achieve desired treatment goals. Moreover, several studies have shown that Moringa oleifera seeds contain an active antimicrobial activity. This paper summarises the several uses of M. oleifera seed extract in water treatment and highlights areas that need further research.
