White popinac as potential phyto-coagulant to reduce turbidity of river water.

One of the main problems in many rivers is high turbidity. People lose attraction to rivers if the water is turbid. Reduction of turbidity is also one of the main objectives to achieve acceptable water quality for municipal water supply. Turbidity is generally removed by adding chemical coagulants,...
