Ground is one of the major sources for drinking water. But direct use of water for drinking is not suitable. Because drinking water parameters are not in standard range, developing countries facing problems in potable water because of inadequacy of economic support and technology. They are need to adopted water treatment. The natural herbs used to removal of contaminants from water and treatment kit at affordable cost. The natural herbs were used to remove total hardness and total dissolved solids. All parameters where in the range of drinking water standards after treatment. This made us to provide a portable kit. For providing safe potable water, an inexpensive portable filter will be the solution. The herbal materials like Vettiver and the material like luffa cylindrical pad which are very cheapest filter materials proves the reduction of hardness and the mud filter which is more economical and hygienic one to put in use. Thus this kind of appropriate technology will be the sustainable solution for the drinking water purification in rural communities.
