Physico-Bacteriological Parameters of the Pond Water Treated with Powdered Moringa oleifera ..... ..
Surface waters are typically turbid due to suspended matter, organic matter, chemical, physical, and even biological components, making them unsuitable for drip irrigation. The Moringa oleifera almond powder used in the study was dried in an oven for one month at temperatures of 25, 40, and 50°C before being used to treat the water of Kongou Gorou Zarmagandey pond so that it could be used for localised irrigation. The aim of this research was to determine the physico-bacteriological nature of the pond's waters. Escherichia coli, faecal Streptococci, total germs and sulphito-reducers, organic matter, total residues, and the colour of treated water were all examined. The supernatants were extracted and analysed after water was treated with 100 mg/Lp Moringa oleifera seed powders dried at 25, 40, and 50°C, respectively. At the temperatures of 50, 40, and 25°C, the findings indicate a rise in organic matter of 52.59, 55.84, and 57.14 percent; a small decrease in total residues of 0.7 percent, 4.3 percent, and 2.5 percent; and an abatement of Escherichia coli. Coli is a complete organism (100 percent for all temperatures). The dose at 25°C was reduced by 99.24 percent, while the doses at 40 and 50°C were reduced by 98.48 percent. Sulfo-reducing agents have a cumulative effectiveness of 100 percent for doses of 100 mg. 1 at 25 and 40 degrees Celsius, and about 99.99 percent at 50 degrees Celsius. Finally, at temperatures of 50°C, 25°C, and 40°C, colour fell by 97.62 percent, 97.858 percent, and 98.167 percent, respectively. The study area's water was found to be in compliance with the FAO guidelines on the physico-bacteriological aspects of irrigation water in general, and drip irrigation in particular.
