ABSTRACT
Comparing measures for the effectiveness of methods for treating storage of domestic water which tends to recommend the best treatment methods for any type of water, to state how domestic water can be treated for reuse and reduce the impurities to a certain level that does not cause harm to human health through the help of different treatment method. The results of the projects were generated through proximate analysis of different coagulants used, sedimentation methods of treating water, coagulations of water samples and water purifier treatments was done and the physical, chemical and biological water parameters was look into. The TDS of river water on different treatment methods water was in the range of 18 to 574 mg/L. The WHO guidelines say that TDS higher than 500 mg/L makes the water somewhat undesirable for drinking although under no conditions was water up to 500 mg/l. The pH of the water samples was in the range of 5.4 to 6.9 which is very much acceptable for drinking. Most of the samples were alkaline while samples had pH greater than 7. The nitrite value was in the range of 0.017 0.089 mg/l while that of nitrate was 0.033 to 0.256 mg/l. The oxidation of nitrite produces nitrate ions. The WHO recommended limit is 1.0 mg/l for nitrite ions. The WHO limit for nitrate ions in drinking water is 5.0 mg/l. From the result analysis, it was gathered that coagulation tend to deposit more particles in the water sample and finally increases the TDS and other parameters.
