ABSTRACT
The high cost of treated water makes most people in the rural communities to resort to water sources which are normally of low quality and which expose them to waterborne diseases. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cucurbita pepo seed powders for the removal of turbidity in river water using Alum as a standard. Water samples were collected from Gara River, Madobi local government area, Kano State Nigeria. Various concentrations of Alum and C. pepo seeds powders were prepared; 100, 200, 300 and 400 ppm. pH, turbidity, Total Dissolve Solids, electrical conductivity, Total Suspended Solids and temperature of the samples were analyzed before and after treatment. Significant reductions (p
